DOI: 10.1080/00015458.2018.1442966
Abstract: Abstract Abdominal scars are no longer a contra-indication for abdominal perforator flap harvesting. Few research data exists about the regeneration potential of the abdominal wall’s perforator system. Therefore, previous abdominoplasty with umbilical transposition is an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znad101.080
Abstract: The Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap is considered the gold standard procedure for breast reconstruction. The long-term cosmetic outcomes of the reconstructed breast are unmatched by alternative reconstructive methods, however the donor site morbidity,… read more here.
