Distribution of flap types according to the timing of the reconstruction.
| Flap type | Immediate (%) | Delayed (%) | Totals (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIEP | 116 (65.2) | 38 (21.3) | 154 (86.5) |
| SIEA | 12 (6.7) | 2 (1.1) | 14 (7.9) |
| Ms-TRAM | 2 (1.1) | 5 (2.8) | 7 (3.9) |
| IGAP | 2 (1.1) | 0 | 2 (1.1) |
| Free LD | 1 (0.6) | 0 | 1 (0.6) |
| Total | 133 (74.7) | 45 (25.3) | 178 |
Key: DIEP = Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, SIEA = Superficial inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, Ms-TRAM = muscle sparing transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, IGAP = inferior gluteal artery perforator flap, LD = latissimus dorsi flap.
