Abstract

Based on our anatomical studies of the blood supply of the thoracoepigastric flap, we have developed a new method of breast reconstruction. This flap is used from the contralateral side, based on the rectus abdominis muscle and including the superior epigastric artery. This flap is transferred to the mastectomized side. The skin and subcutaneous tissue below the mastectomy scar are used for the reconstruction, following deepithelisation and upper abdominal advancement of the soft tissue.
