Although over the past decade the DIEP flap has emerged as one of the preferred choices for autologous breast reconstruction and the donor-site closure has much in common with the standard abdominoplasty technique, reports on comparisons of the complication rates between DIEP and elective abdominoplasty patients are not currently available. The purpose of this study was to compare DIEP donor-site and elective abdominoplasty short-term complications rates, in support of surgical choices.

Abstract
Although over the past decade the DIEP flap has emerged as one of the preferred choices for autologous breast reconstruction and the donor-site closure has much in common with the standard abdominoplasty technique, reports on comparisons of the complication rates between DIEP and elective abdominoplasty patients are not currently available. The purpose of this study was to compare DIEP donor-site and elective abdominoplasty short-term complications rates, in support of surgical choices.
