Abstract

Hybrid breast reconstruction (HBR) combines autologous tissue and bio-prosthetic breast reconstruction techniques. This method addresses many challenges associated with stand-alone techniques, including inadequate volume with autologous reconstruction and esthetic issues like rippling in implant-based reconstruction. However, despite its promising advantages, HBR remains underutilized. This review explores the development of HBR, surgical techniques, clinical outcomes, current barriers to adoption, and the future potential of this innovative approach to breast reconstructive surgery.
