About this study

The purpose of this study was to specifically compare the long term patient satisfaction of the abdomen after DIEAP flap procedure with conventional abdominoplasty.

Read the detailed description

34 patients reconstructed with a DIEAP flap (DIEAP group) and 30 patients who had undergone a conventional abdominoplasty (AP group) were asked to complete two study-specific questionnaires. One questionnaire covered general and specific aspects concerning abdominal outcomes and morbidity. The other covered general outcomes such as satisfaction with surgery and change of body image, self-confidence, social and intimate relations. In addition, all patients performed an abdominal muscle function test.
