Oncoplastic Flap Surgery: Breast Reconstruction

After a brief introduction of the background and anatomical basis of breast reconstruction, the book shows surgical reconstruction procedures using different types of flaps, for example, deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, profunda artery perforator flap and omentum flap. The aim of this book is to introduce the clinical applications of various flaps in oncoplastic surgery. After a brief introduction of the background and anatomical basis of breast reconstruction, the book shows surgical reconstruction procedures using different types of flaps, for example, deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, profunda artery perforator flap and omentum flap. The great number of representative clinical cases together with high quality operative pictures constitute one of the highlights of this book. These pictures provided with details in flap design, elevation, harvest, transfer, and complications management. Furthermore, the use of Indocyanine green angiography and three-dimensional shaping with autologous tissue transplantation is discussed. Written by a group of experienced oncoplastic surgeons, this book offers a valuable reference work for medical researchers and practitioners in microsurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery.
