Teaching and aptitude in breast reconstruction surgery are extremely important in the formation of a resident in plastic surgery, mainly due to the innumerable complications and results short of expected that involve this type of surgery. Because of this the plastic surgery service of Santa Casa de Porto Alegre created a treatment algorithm in breast reconstruction in patients submitted to mastectomy, improving the quality of the professionals training of this institution, as well as offering a service of better quality to patients.
