Geelong’s University Hospital is uniquely positioned as the only Victorian tertiary hospital in a regional setting, with a catchment area between Werribee and the South Australian border. While the hospital offers a comprehensive range of breast surgical and reconstructive modalities, individualising treatment often requires us to account for the challenges of regional living. In this discourse, we explore the efficacy of embracing simplicity, discussing how this approach can sometimes be best.
