description: This complete step-by-step guide to autogenous breast reconstruction is written by surgeons who pioneered the transverse abdominal island flap (TRAM flap), fleur-de-lis latissimus flap, superior and inferior gluteal free flap, and lateral transverse thigh free flap techniques. With the aid of more than 600 photographs and drawings, including 588 in full color, the authors guide the surgeon through the use of these techniques in breast reconstruction after radical, modified radical, and bilateral mastectomies and address issues such as nipple reconstruction, treatment of the opposite breast, and post-irradiation concerns. Panel discussions offer expert suggestions for further perfecting the techniques. The authors also explain how to design flaps, minimize donor site morbidity, deal with complications, recognize pertinent abdominal wall anatomy, and maintain cutaneous perfusion during flap procedures.
