Developing a Breast Reconstruction Program in a Resource-Constrained Ghanaian Teaching Hospital: Needs Assessment and Implementation

Discussions, lectures, and cadaver dissections investigated the various reconstructive options. Operative cases were performed using a latissimus musculocutaneous flap, a lower abdominal transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap, and a midabdominal TRAM flap. The midabdominal TRAM was found to be the best choice at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. It is a reliable, robust, well-perfused, single-stage flap that produced excellent patient satisfaction.
