Article Title: Modern techniques and alternative flaps in microsurgical breast reconstruction
Abstract: Breast reconstruction with autologous tissue has become an essential part of the breast cancer patient care algorithm, with the abdomen being the most common tissue donor site. However, within this field, the technology and surgical techniques available to the reconstructive breast surgeon have evolved over time. This review aims to summarize the literature surrounding current techniques in microsurgical breast reconstruction including the use of alternative, nonabdominal flaps. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
