Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy Using a Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) Flap: Clinical and Medico-Legal Insights From a Four-Year Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aims Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is nowadays a gold standard in therapy of breast cancer patients. Free deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction is a favorable method when traditional implants fail or are not viable, especially after radiotherapy. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a case series
