Breast reconstruction by deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) involves only little rectus abdominis muscle sacrifice. However, the operative procedure may get complicated. We propose here a novel method involving two adjacent perforators and requiring the addition of only the superficial muscle to the flap. This novel technique, termed “deep muscle sparing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (DMS‐TRAM),” was compared to DIEP and MS‐TRAM groups.
