Objective:
To present a method for bilateral breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap following modified radical mastectomy.
Methods:
From 2004 to 2005, three patients with bilateral modified radical mastectomy have undergone delayed bilateral breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap.
Result:
The flaps in all the cases survived. Follow-up more than 3 months, postoperative abdominal wall examination didn't reveal hernia and bulging. The bilateral reconstructed breast achieved good results in shape and symmetry. Bilateral reconstructed breasts are symmetry.
Conclusion:
The procedure introduced is a reliable method for bilateral breast reconstruction.
