Current literature on complications and health-related quality of life in autologous and alloplastic breast reconstruction is inconclusive. Despite the great demand for more in-depth, long-term studies of both techniques, current evidence is low or moderate and there are only few studies focusing on both health-related quality of life and complication rates in the same patient collective. This study aims at investigating the complex relationship between the occurrence of complications and patient-reported long-time satisfaction in autologous and alloplastic breast reconstruction.
