Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Mastectomy is a cornerstone operative procedure in breast cancer treatment leaving a raw area behind with possibility of failure of primary closure sometimes with unavailability of facilities of reconstruction. This opened the door for this research to find a formula to predict the need of reconstruction

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with breast cancer primary or recurrent, early, locally advanced or metastatic, as long as they were assigned to be treated with any procedure in which mastectomy is part or all of the procedure, were included in this study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any patient diagnosed with breast cancer and planned to be treated with conservative breast cancer 2. Any patient whose design for excision was not regular ellipse but an irregularly tailored excision margin 3. Any patient with ischemic flaps (due to excessive tension or wrong dissection) following mastectomy 4. Any patient had skin disease affecting its healthiness
