Effect of postoperative radiotherapy on autologous deep inferior epigastric perforator flap volume after immediate breast reconstruction
British Journal of Surgery, 09/29/09

Chatterjee JS et al. – In this study postoperative radiotherapy did not significantly affect breast volume after DIEP flap reconstruction. The potential need for postoperative radiotherapy should not deter women from undergoing immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction.

Exclusive Author Commentary
J. S. Chatterjee , 09/29/09

The methodology involved in this study allowed the calculation of the breast reconstruction flap volume prior to Radiotherpy. The reconstruction volume following Radiotherapy was measured using mammometry. There is little in the literature to date which has assessed the breast reconstruction volume change following Radiotherapy using such objective methodology.
