Outcomes and Current State of Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Surgery in Peru and Mexico
Due to the multiple healthcare barriers in these countries, a very low number of DIEP flaps are performed in Peru and Mexico. Outcomes were worse in Peru compared with Mexico, with complication rates similar to those of other Latin American countries but higher than those of interventions performed in more experienced hands in the United States and Europe.
