Time periods defined as pre-pandemic (Jan 2018-Mar 2020), immediate (Mar-Jun peri-pandemic (Jun 2020-Jun 2022). Weekly type (lumpectomy, mastectomy, or mastectomy reconstruction) evaluated using segmented negative binomial regression models. Among 44 226 patients, 50 440 surgeries performed. decreased by 16.9% compared levels (180.5 vs. 217.1; p = 0.03). Surgical recovered 2021. Mastectomies represented higher proportion (31.1% pre, 36.3% immediate, 32.4% peri-pandemic; < 0.01). mastectomies reconstruction remained stable but increased (20.1% 17%; There was significant reduction all pandemic. accounted for period however access maintained. within year despite ongoing hospitalizations.
