Abstract
DIEP flap reconstruction is a variation of the free TRAM flap reconstruction in which the same paddle of lower abdominal skin and fat is transferred for breast reconstruction with preservation of rectus abdominis muscle and fascia.
The DIEP flap combines all the advantages of the TRAM flap without most of its disadvantages. It provides generous amounts of well perfused soft tissue and its complication rate is similar to other free tissue transfers. The first and foremost advantage of the DIEP over the TRAM is its markedly decreased donor site morbidity. Furthermore, Postoperative pain is minimal, hospitalization time is reduced and patients can return more quickly to work and physical activities.
