There are three Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons working in the Cambridge Breast Unit. We work closely with our multi-disciplinary colleagues to provide a comprehensive and state-of-the-art breast reconstruction service after mastectomy for cancer and prophylactic mastectomies. The reconstructions are largely performed in the immediate setting at the time of the mastectomies which are performed simultaneously by our General Breast Surgical Colleagues. A number of the reconstructions are also undertaken months or years after the mastectomy (delayed reconstruction). We offer the full spectrum of reconstructive breast surgery techniques including expander/implant, latissimus dorsi flaps, TRAM flaps, DIEP flaps, SIEA flaps and Gluteal flaps. We have a particularly strong microsurgical breast reconstructive set up which is highly regarded around the UK and abroad. We also undertake the treatment of lumpectomy and quadrantectomy defects usually in a delayed setting. A significant portion of our work also involves contralateral balancing surgery at the time of or following reconstruction (breast reduction, mastopexy, breast augmentation)

 

We are also involved in the treatment of various congenital breast deformities and surgical management of the enlarged male breast (gynaecomastia). We also provide a General Breast Plastic Surgery Service for the treatment of large breasts (breast reduction, breast augmentation and breast lifts).

We run weekly outpatient clinics for the preoperative assessment of all breast patients needing plastic surgery and their postoperative follow ups.  Our clinics are staffed by a Breast Reconstruction Nurse Specialist (Lisa Newbery) and two Reconstructive Surgery Surgical Care Practitioners (Jane Reece and Laura Fopp). We also have the full complement of Trainee Specialist Registrars and Senior House Officers.

 

We also attend the Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings on Monday and Thursday Mornings. We meet the DOH Cancer Targets. We provide Breast Reconstructions for the wider West Anglia Cancer Network Region including Hinchingbrooke, Peterborough and the West Suffolk Hospitals.
