AI Article Synopsis
- Thoracoabdominal (TA) flaps are effective for closing small to medium defects post-mastectomy for advanced breast cancer.
- Although TA flaps have a higher risk of necrosis compared to myocutaneous flaps, they are manageable for breast surgeons to perform.
- There is limited research on TA flaps in breast reconstruction, with no previous publications specifically documenting their use.
Article Abstract
Thoracoabdominal (TA) flaps are a good option for primary closure of small and medium defects after mastectomy for locally advanced breast tumours. Although they have a higher rate of necrosis than myocutaneous flaps, they can be easily performed by breast surgeons. Few studies on this procedure have been reported, and we have been unable to identify any prior publications reporting breast reconstruction with TA flaps.
