Postoperative complications in breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap: Looking for evidence
Complications increased by obesity, diabetes, radiation therapy, and the use of multiple and lateral row perforators, as well as sutured venous anastomoses. Conversely, outcomes were not affected by age, hypertension, chemotherapy, reconstructive laterality and timing, vein number, coupler size, or postoperative ASA use.
