The Pyramidal Flap: an Innovative Technique for DIEP Flap Refinement

DIEP flap is considered the gold standard technique for breast reconstruction. One of the most frequent contour deformities after breast reconstruction with DIEP flap is a step-off deformity at the interface between the native chest wall and the reconstructed breast. Different techniques have been u...

description DIEP flap is considered the gold standard technique for breast reconstruction. One of the most frequent contour deformities after breast reconstruction with DIEP flap is a step-off deformity at the interface between the native chest wall and the reconstructed breast. Different techniques have been used to address this problem. We describe the pyramidal flap as a simple, single stage and low risk procedure, which specifically corrects the step-off or tapering deformity of the reconstructed breast with DIEP flap.
