Breast removal is a procedure performed to save the patient's life. Such a radical measure is still relevant, even despite effective modern diagnostics for early-stage breast cancer. Often, the tumor is detected in an advanced state, and no organ-preserving surgery can be considered.
Breast cancer affects increasingly younger patients, and losing a breast is a tragedy for them. After recovery, many patients require reconstruction of the lost organ. Currently, there are several methods for breast reconstruction. The most advanced and effective among them is the "DIEP flap" method.
Breast Reconstruction (Mammary Gland) Using the "DIEP Flap": Advantages of Treatment at the Top Ichilov Medical Center
- The surgical intervention is performed by surgeons with the title of doctor or professor.
- Modern microsurgical equipment and instruments are used.
- The mammary gland is restored using living tissue.
- Ultra-thin suture material is used.
- No complications or rejection occur.
- Abdominal skin is also lifted and reconstructed.
- After the operation, the patient is continuously monitored by qualified medical personnel.
- The patient can undergo examinations for other diseases and receive any consultation.
- Each patient is provided with comfortable conditions for treatment and accommodation.
- All questions arising for the woman are resolved promptly, taking into account the patient's wishes.
- The choice of surgical method is made based on the patient's interests.
The microsurgical reconstruction method using the "DIEP flap" not only restores the aesthetic appearance of the patient, the "new" breast is alive, it increases if the woman gains weight, moves synchronously while walking, has body temperature, and is supplied with nerve endings. Additionally, lifting and reconstruction are performed at the site of the flap removal. The patient gains a breast and has her abdomen lifted, which is often a pleasant aspect.
Because the transplanted tissue is the patient's own, it is not rejected, integrates well, and no side effects are observed. The operation is safe and very effective. Postoperative scars quickly become inconspicuous, as ultra-thin suture material is used.

Breast Reconstruction (Mammary Gland) Using the "DIEP Flap": Operation at the Top Ichilov Medical Center
The "DIEP flap" operation involves excising a flap of skin along with subcutaneous fat, nerves, and blood vessels from the abdominal area (sometimes the flap is excised from the gluteal area or thigh). During the surgical intervention, the flap is transplanted to the site of the mastectomy. Using unique microsurgical equipment and instruments, the surgeon connects the blood vessels, thereby ensuring full blood supply to the "new" breast.
Despite the fact that microsurgical breast reconstruction using the "DIEP flap" is a complex operation, it is always successful at the Top Ichilov Medical Center. The center's surgeons are top-tier professionals, each with dozens of similar operations to their credit. The professionalism of the surgeons ensures the safety and guaranteed effectiveness of the intervention.
