| Video Discription | For DIEP flap breast reconstruction to be considered a "success" the tissue (flap) transferred to the chest to create the new breast must survive fully and the patient must not suffer any ill-effects from removal of the tissue from the abdomen. This is known as "donor-site morbidity". Potential abdominal complications include bulging ("pooching"), a hernia, and significant loss of core muscle strength. Ideally, other than the visible scar, the patient's abdomen must recover completely from the surgery, have an aesthetic contour, and suffer no long-term problems to be deemed a full success. Merely preserving abdominal muscle will not guarantee full recovery. It does not matter how much muscle is saved if the nerves supplying it have all been cut. A muscle without a healthy nerve supply will lose it's tone, strength and function. If the DIEP surgeon does not take great care to identify and preserve the majority of the nerves supplying the abdominal muscle then the benefits of the DIEP flap procedure are potentially lost, and the risk of abdominal complications, especially an unsightly bulge, increases.
