Evolving Trends in Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Tissues: A Large‐Scale, 24‐Year Retrospective Study in China
Autologous breast reconstruction in China is shifting toward increased utilization of DIEP flaps, particularly in delayed, immediate-delayed, and implant-salvage settings, as well as among patients undergoing radiotherapy. These findings support DIEP as a preferred flap type in modern reconstructive practice.
