Breast reconstruction with the extended profunda artery perforator flap

The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap is a reliable flap for breast reconstruction. By extending the traditional flap it is possible to include more tissue, thereby enhancing flap volume. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the technique for extended profundal artery perforator flap harvest and to demonstrate results in a population otherwise not suited for autologous breast reconstruction.
