The Role of Intercostal Artery Perforator (ICAP) Flaps in the Transition From Cosmetic to Effective Modern Breast Surgery
The proposed patient-centred decisional algorithm incorporates both objective preoperative assessment and patient preferences, promoting a tailored approach that enhances functional and aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. ICAP flaps represent valuable and less invasive tools for volume replacement, contributing to satisfactory symmetry outcomes.
