Double Venous System Drainage in Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction

The field of breast reconstruction has evolved rapidly since the advent of the first sili‐ cone gel-filled prosthesis by Cronin and Gerowin in 1963. [1] Over the past decades, we have seen remarkable advances in the field with microsurgical techniques becoming the gold standard for breast reconstruction. The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap has many advantages when compared to other methods of autologous breast recon‐ struction, namely reliability, malleability of soft tissue, and limited donor site morbidity. It is primarily for these reasons that the DIEP flap has become the preferred autologous option of many microsurgeons.
