Technical and Analytical Approach for Breast Reconstruction With IMAP Propeller Flap
Breast-sharing techniques have not gained popularity for many reasons. By combining current understanding of breast cancer behavior, experience with perforator anatomy, and angio-CT and ICG, we believe this study gives a second life to this flap, identifying its weaknesses and improving them. The IMAP propeller flap, simpler and safer in the presence of comorbidities than a free flap, can be a good choice for well-selected candidates.
