Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction represents a surgical option that may improve psychosocial outcome without modifying patients' survival. Psychosocial impact of used surgical technique and moment of realization of breast reconstruction remains unclear. However, complications are negatively related to patients' satisfaction. There is no guideline for BR indications. Therefore, a review of clinical and cosmetic outcomes of different breast reconstruction modalities was necessary. It permitted to propose a shared decision-making algorithm for the choice of moment and technique of BR according to the presence of radiotherapy that appears to be the main risk factor of clinical outcome of breast reconstruction. It also disclosed some limits in information reliability about clinical outcome of particular associations of breast reconstruction and radiotherapy. Proportion of women pursuing breast reconstruction, and particularly immediate breast reconstruction, is rising. Clinical surveys assessing relation between radiotherapy and clinical and psychosocial outcome of breast reconstruction are urgently expected.
