Sumario: | Breast reconstruction is a procedure that is in increased demand due to high incidence of breast cancer. To provide high-quality esthetic and functional results, each patient should be properly managed. Patients with comorbid conditions have become more common and account for higher difficulty in perioperative patient management. Despite the ongoing diversification of comorbidities in patients undergoing breast reconstruction, it is the patient’s right to receive this final stage in rehabilitation after a mastectomy. We present a clinical vignette of a patient with a severe comorbid hypersensitivity disorder undergoing breast reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. Despite early postoperative complications, our brigade managed to maintain flap viability without the use of surgical or pharmacological assistance in a patient with a history of toxic epidermal necrosis syndrome. |
