Breast Restoration (Software)

Educational software dealing with breast restoration has been created with the cooperation of the Foundation for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.

Through multimedia presentation, this software provides complete desciptions of the many reconstructive options available today. A combination of anatomical artwork, actual patient photos, schematic animations, and morphed images make breast restoration understandable and less intimidating.
Topics covered include:
Introduction
Implants
Expanders
TRAM Flap
Free TRAM Flap
Gluteus Free Flap
Latissimus Flap
Lateral Thigh Flap
Lumpectomy
Tissue and Implant Reconstruction
Bilateral Reconstruction
Second Stage Surgery (Nipple and Areola)
Timing of Surgery
Skin Sparing Mastectomy
Radical Mastectomy
Limits and Risks of Treatment
Follow-up
Life After Cancer Treatment

Menu-driven help mode is available for instruction, as is instruction from your guide, Jo-Ann, a patient who has undergone cancer treatment and breast reconstruction.

A glossary is provided for review of key terms. Each item is accompanied by an illustration.
Further review of the various topics is possible through use of the "Art Gallery" and "Movie Theater." These provide narrated descriptions of patient photos, descriptions of pertinent anatomy, and schematic and patient morph movies.
CSoft's "Breast Restoration" is available on CD-ROM in Power Macintosh and Windows 95/98/NT forms. Individuals may order the software from Celestial Software.
Medical institutions and non-profit organizations (including breast cancer support groups) may qualify to obtain the software free of charge through The Foundation for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. Representatives of such institutions may contact The Foundation by phone: 212 794-1234 (Weekdays, 9a- 5 p EST), or E-Mail at info@frps.org
