Complications After Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction for Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy
In our series of 380 DIEP flaps after NSM, we present a major donor site complication rate of 5.9% and a major recipient site complication rate of 16.3%. Body mass index and tobacco use are associated with breast and abdominal complications. Delayed-immediate reconstruction has a protective effect on breast complications.
