Perforator-Related Risk Factors for Perfusion-Related Complications in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction
This study showed that the shortest distance between the perforator and flap edge is a strong predictor for PRCs in DIEP flap breast reconstruction. As several perforator characteristics are considered when designing and performing DIEP flap breast reconstruction, these findings can guide surgeons in this decision-making process.
