| Abstract | Learning objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the indications for a unilateral pedicled transverse rectus abdominis (TRAM) flap-based breast reconstruction. 2. Understand the different types and designs of pedicled TRAM flap used in both immediate and delayed breast reconstruction. 3. Understand the essential landmarks and relevant anatomy of the pedicled TRAM flap. 4. Understand the steps of raising the pedicled TRAM flap, the subcutaneous transfer, and the insetting of the flap on the chest wall. 5. Understand the nature of donor-site management and closure of the defect. 6. Develop a postoperative plan for continuing care and pain management. Summary: This article focuses primarily on the unilateral, ipsilateral pedicled TRAM flap. Although the bilateral pedicled TRAM flap may be a reasonable option in some cases, they have been shown to have a significant impact on abdominal wall strength and integrity. Other types of autogenous flaps using the same lower abdominal tissue, such as a free muscle-sparing TRAM or a deep inferior epigastric flap, can be performed as a bilateral procedure with less impact on the abdominal wall. Breast reconstruction with a pedicled transverse rectus abdominis flap has persisted for decades as a reliable and safe form of autologous breast reconstruction leading to a natural and stable breast shape. |
