This section systematically outlines methods for managing postoperative complications and evaluating long-term outcomes of endoscopic/robotic breast surgery (E/R-BS) to promote the standardized use of this technology and ensure optimal results. Using the Delphi method, 36 recommendations were formulated, covering eight areas: (1) management of postoperative hemorrhage after E/R-BS; (2) infection following endoscopic/robotic implant-based breast reconstruction (E/R-IBBR); (3) flap/nipple ischemia and necrosis after E/R-IBBR; (4) other complications of E/R-IBBR; (5) surgical safety of E/R-BS; (6) oncologic safety of E/R-BS; (7) aesthetic outcomes and quality of life after E/R-BS; (8) postoperative follow-up after E/R-BS.
