This study introduces the endoscope-assisted deep inferior epigastric perforator (E-DIEP) flap for breast reconstruction, offering a less invasive option. The technique successfully achieved a long pedicle for tension-free anastomosis, demonstrating its clinical feasibility.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Microsurgery
Background:
- Breast reconstruction is a critical component of oncoplastic surgery.
- Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps are widely used for autologous breast reconstruction.
- Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce donor site morbidity and improve outcomes.
