Introduction:We hypothesized that patients undergoing breast reconstruction with free DIEP or MS FTRAM flaps based on perforators from a single DIEA branch would have a higher incidence of fat necrosis and a lower incidence of bulge/hernia than those undergoing reconstruction based on perforators from both DIEA branches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
