Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction in a Patient with Huge Uterine Leiomyoma [PDF]
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap has long been the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Various factors that can disrupt abdominal wall vascular anatomy make dissection of the DIEP flap a technically demanding procedure.
