Native skin flap necrosis is a potentially devastating complication following skin‐sparing or nipple‐sparing mastectomy with a reported incidence of as high as 30%. Treatment depends on the depth and extent of tissue necrosis and can range from dressings to surgical debridement and further reconstruction. This can have implications on patient physical and psychological wellbeing as well as cost of treatment. This study aims to identify and appraise cost‐effective non‐surgical adjuncts for the prevention of native skin flap necrosis.
