AB Surgical  resection  was  the  principal  therapy  for  breast  cancer  for  centuries.  However,  over  the  past  30  years,  as  therapeutic  interventions  have  been  modified  and  outcomes  have  been  studied,  aggressiveness  of  the  procedures  has  substantially  been  reduced.  Currently,  large  chest  wall  resections  and  reconstructions  are  offered  only  to  select  patients  with  locoregional  disease.  This  chapter  evaluates  the  indications  and  contraindications  for  this  operation,  discusses  procedural  technique,  and  reviews  the  complications.
