Reconstruction of breast asymmetry in Poland's chest-wall deformity using microvascular free flaps.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There are few studies that compare the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap to the pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (pTRAM) flap for use in reconstructive breast surgery. The authors examined four factors that aid in decision-making: donor-site morbidity, need for surgery r...
