Breast cancer treatment at Ponderas Academic Hospital

Ponderas Academic Hospital in Bucharest, Romania offers unilateral subcutaneous mastectomy with breast reconstruction. The procedure uses an implant and latissimus dorsi flap technique. The total cost ranges from €15,600 to €17,935.

The surgery removes breast tissue while preserving the skin envelope. Dr. Gerald Filip recommends this approach based on patient medical records. The procedure includes sentinel lymph node biopsy to check for cancer spread. Surgeons use intraoperative vascularization assessment with ICG to ensure proper blood flow during surgery.

Breast Reconstruction Details

Dr. Cătălin Stângu performs the reconstruction immediately after mastectomy. The technique combines a breast implant with tissue from the latissimus dorsi muscle in the back. This creates a natural breast shape and provides adequate tissue coverage for the implant.

The reconstruction procedure costs €7,250. The breast implant itself is billed separately at €680. This two-stage approach ensures optimal cosmetic results while maintaining surgical safety.
