Abstract :

Among various types of autologous breast reconstruction, perforator flap reconstructions are the most advanced surgical technique applied in breast reconstruction. Abdominal flaps such as deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap and superficial inferior epigastric perforator (SIEP) flap are generally the first choice for Perforator flaps. Perforator flaps are â�?�?freeâ�? flaps consisting of, skin, fatty tissue and tiny blood vessels (perforators) which are micro-surgically removed from the donor site and transferred to the chest for reconstruction of the new breast. With experience in microsurgical techniques and perforator selection, the DIEP flap offers distinct advantages to patients, in terms of decreased donor-site morbidity and shorter recovery periods. Mastery of this flap provides reconstructive surgeons with more extensive options for the treatment of post-mastectomy patients.
