Breast removal is a surgery 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 tumour is detected in an advanced state, and any organ-preserving surgery is no longer an option.
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.

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 reconstructing the area from which the flap was taken occurs. 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 surgery 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": Surgery at the Top Ihilov Medical Center
The "DIEP flap" surgery 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 buttock or thigh area). 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 surgery, it is always successful at the Top Ihilov Medical Center. The center's surgeons are doctors of the highest professional categories, with each having performed dozens of similar operations. The professionalism of the surgeons ensures the safety and guaranteed effectiveness of the intervention.
