Umbilical transposition in TRAM flap: a simple horizontal translocation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The innovative technique of three- and four-dimensional computed tomographic angiography allows us to analyze the areas of perfusion in commonly used free abdominal flaps in breast reconstruction, such as pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flaps, full TRAMs, muscle-sparing TRAMs, an...
