Abstract
The evolution of autologous breast reconstruction is marked by significant technological advancements aimed at enhancing surgical outcomes. This review explores the current limitations and inherent challenges in standard practices of autologous breast reconstruction and highlights the potential benefits of the latest technological innovations. It addresses key aspects that stand to gain from improvements in surgical training and perioperative patient care, with a particular focus on preoperative planning, intraoperative techniques, and postoperative monitoring. The transformative potential of these technologies is poised to significantly improve patient outcomes, optimize surgical efficiency, and advance surgical education.
