Over 700 free flap breast reconstruction procedures have been performed in a solo
private practice setting during the past 14 years. Donor sites included TRAM, superior
gluteal, tensor fasciae latae/lateral thigh, gracilis/medial thigh, and “Rubens” flaps.
Flap survival has been greater than 99%. Clinical results and special considerations
for private practice free flap breast reconstruction surgery were presented.
