Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to analyze an institution's experience with starting a subspecialized DIEP flap program and to determine whether other hospitals would benefit from instituting a similar program. Prior studies have compared the outcome from a DIEP flap program with that of TRAM flaps within the same center. Other studies have calculated the cost of a DIEP flap and its complication rate. However, no one has examined the overall effects of a subspecialized reconstruction program and its impact on a health center. In this study, we will determine if the institutionalization of a DIEP flap program has increased our center's rate of breast reconstruction, as well as evaluate its outcomes and overall financial viability.
