“…In choosing the flap to close the defect after mastectomy, several factors were involved: the surgeon's experience, the size of the defect, training in microsurgical techniques, and the potential complications involved. In general, the microsurgical and myocutaneous flaps allow the closure of areas superior to the fasciocutaneous or dermo-fat flaps, except for the ipsilateral thoracoabdominal dermofat (ITADE) flap, which, despite covering an extensive area, is associated with a higher rate of complication and cutaneous necrosis, being the necrosis greater than 4.3% and smaller than 34.7% 6,8,9 . It is known that few services have professionals qualified in microsurgical techniques, and the breast surgeon must have knowledge of the different reconstruction possibilities and their strengths and weaknesses, allowing the best choice of the myocutaneous flaps to be used.…”
