Article Synopsis
- - The DIEP flap is a favored method for breast reconstruction because it preserves muscle and provides good aesthetic outcomes, but it can lead to complications like pleura injuries and pneumothorax during vessel preparation.
- - The article discusses a novel technique that uses an autologous breast expander capsule as a biological patch to repair a pleural tear, which was successfully applied in a clinical case.
- - The innovative approach resulted in a smooth post-operative recovery with no pneumothorax, suggesting a promising solution for pleural reconstruction in DIEP flap surgeries.
Introduction: Perforator dissection can be technically demanding with a steep learning curve. Inadvertent perforator damage during dissection can be minimized with practice and familiarity with tissue-handling techniques unique to perforator dissection. There currently lacks a simulation model that mimics the human perforator in size and course.
