    TLDR Endoscopic-assisted surgery leads to higher patient satisfaction in breast reconstruction.
    The study on breast reconstruction incision techniques in China reveals that traditional methods like radial incision and inferolateral inframammary fold incision remain common. However, endoscopic-assisted surgery is linked to higher patient-reported satisfaction, suggesting its potential for broader clinical use. Key factors affecting patient satisfaction include changes in bra cup size, the surgical approach used, and the implant plane.
