dc.description.abstract | Background Bilateral microsurgical autologous reconstruction is known to increase operating time, costs, and complications compared to unilateral procedures. This study aimed to determine whether a unilateral pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap and a unilateral deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) free flap could be a feasible option for bilateral reconstruction in selected circumstances. Methods A retrospective chart review identified patients who underwent unilateral pedicled TRAM and unilateral DIEP reconstruction for bilateral breast reconstruction between 2011 and 2014. Surgical outcomes, complications, and aesthetic scale questionnaire responses were evaluated. Results Fourteen patients were included in this study. Ten patients received bilateral immediate reconstruction, while four patients with a previous history of mastectomy underwent unilateral immediate reconstruction and contralateral delayed reconstruction. All flaps survived without any major complications. A case of nipple-areolar skin necrosis on the pedicled TRAM side and a case of mild abdominal bulging at the free DIEP donor site were reported. There was no partial flap necrosis or palpable fat necrosis. On the aesthetic outcome scale, the free DIEP flaps scored significantly higher than did the pedicled TRAM flaps for overall shape, the upper medial and lower lateral quadrant, and the lateral chest wall. Conclusions Our findings suggest that a unilateral pedicled TRAM flap together with a unilateral free DIEP flap could be performed as a bridging surgical option as institutions move toward bilateral free-flap reconstructions, as a way to reduce operating time and the risk of microsurgery-related complications with acceptable donor site morbidity and aesthetic outcomes. | - |
