Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center is offering immediate reconstruction surgery for breast cancer patients. This service underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care to women facing breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

For many women, breast cancer surgery can result in significant changes to their bodies, impacting their self-esteem and quality of life. Immediate reconstruction surgery offers these women the opportunity to undergo breast reconstruction at the same time as their mastectomy, minimizing the physical and emotional impact of the surgery.

Dr. Evan Moore, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, is working with Dr. Katrina Kolasa, a board-certified general surgeon at Ephraim McDowell Central Kentucky Surgeons, to perform the breast reconstruction surgeries.

“We are thrilled to offer immediate reconstruction surgery to our breast cancer patients,” said Dr. Kolasa. “This allows us to provide comprehensive care that addresses not only the cancer itself but also the emotional and physical well-being of our patients.”

The immediate reconstruction surgery program at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. The program includes a thorough evaluation by Dr. Kolasa and Dr. Moore to determine the most appropriate reconstruction options.

In addition to offering immediate reconstruction surgery, Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center provides a wide range of support services for breast cancer patients, including counseling, support groups, and access to resources for wigs and prostheses.

Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center is committed to advancing the standard of care for breast cancer patients and will continue to explore new and innovative ways to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for those affected by this disease.
