Superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) free flap using perforator vessels as a recipient site: clinical implications in autologous breast reconstruction.

Abstract

For selected patients, the SIEA flap and IMPBs may constitute a new alternative for immediate breast reconstruction, because of the possibility of large tissue transfer with minimal donor and recipient area morbidity.

The SIEA pedicle size and the quality of IMPB vessels should be carefully evaluated.
