The DIEP Flap as Well-established Method of Choice for Autologous Breast Reconstruction with a Low Complication Rate - Retrospective Single-centre 10-Year Experience.

Conclusion DIEP flap surgery is an excellent option for autologous breast reconstruction, with a low rate of donor site morbidity and low complication rates. DIEP flap surgery carried out in a specialised interdisciplinary breast centre in a standardised clinical setting after prior careful patient selection to take account of risk factors such as high BMI and smoking is a reliable method with a low complication rate and satisfactory long-term reconstruction results.
