The University of Rome “Sapienza”, at the School of Medicine and Psychology, has instituted for the current Academic year, a II level University Master in Breast Reconstruction on the basis of the Ministerial Decree No. 509 of 3/11/1999 (“Ruling attributed to the regulations concerning the didactic autonomy of universities”) art. 3 comma 8, and of art. 15 of the University Didactic Regulations.

Medicine and Surgery graduates and/or full board in Plastic Surgery, and is designed to provide specific training in Breast Reconstruction in order to enable participants to integrate and improve their basic knowledge in this field.

Objectives:

Participants will be acquainted with all the latest methods and techniques for immediate and delayed reconstruction, participating with the general surgeon in planning both the defect and the expected result. Yearly, at the Department of Plastic Surgery approximately 130 breast reconstructions are performed as follows: reconstruction with autologous tissue (DIEP flap 29%, Wise pattern lumpectomy 9%), reconstruction with autologous tissue and prosthesis (Latissimus Dorsi flap and prosthesis 13%, Wise pattern skin sparing mastectomy and prosthesis 6%), reconstruction with expander and implant (24%), secondary procedures (expander/prosthesis replacement 19%). The training will finally enable the participants to identify the most suitable reconstructive method, adapting the choice of the technique to the patient and not vice-versa, thus involving the patient itself in the decision-making process.
