The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a major advance in breast reconstruction, but many surgeons are reluctant to use it because of concerns about a higher flap loss rate when compared with free/muscle-sparing transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps. Previous studies, however, have not statistically analyzed the relationship of patient characteristics to outcome. This study evaluates the authors' institutional experience with immediate postoperative complications following DIEP and free/muscle-sparing TRAM flaps.
