Abstract

Early experience using a rhomboid flap to reconstruct the breast after partial mastectomy and axillary clearance of glands is encouraging. This operation has been used in 7 cases to reconstruct breasts after partial mastectomy and axillary clearance of glands and has given a good cosmetic result.
