Deep inferior epigastric free flap for breast reconstruction after radical mastectomy
Plast Reconstr Surg.
1985 Sep.
Abstract
This case illustrates an unusual mastectomy patient in whom the standard alternatives for breast reconstruction were not available. A deep inferior epigastric transverse abdominal free flap was successfully employed. The abundance of tissue provided by this technique enabled reconstruction of a large breast to match the contralateral side.
