Özet
Thoracoepigastric flap is rarely used for reconstruction of the large chest wall defects due to potential for necrosis and delayed wound healing. This article presents three patients with breast cancer, who underwent mastectomy and chest wall reconstruction with thoracoepigastric flap and subsequently developed distal flap necrosis. The negative pressure wound therapy may eliminate the need for additional graft and/or flap surgery in patients with large necrosis size. © 2021 Publicaciones Permanyer. All rights reserved.
