Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforators (DIEP) Breast Reconstruction

Описание: DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flaps or implant breast reconstruction surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical and reconstructive option for breast cancer treatment. The team specializes in nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomies incorporating sentinel lymph node biopsies and immediate reconstruction..

The DIEP flap is nicknamed the “tummy tuck flap”, utilizing the skin and fatty tissue that would typically be taken and discarded during a tummy tuck operation (abdominoplasty). The tissue is harvested with its feeding blood vessels and then transferred to the chest wall to replace the diseased breast tissue that is removed during a nipple sparing or skin sparing mastectomy. The blood vessels of the flap are connected to the blood vessels between the ribs to restore blood flow to the flap. Learn more - https://www.gulfportmemorial.com/news...
