The Breast Reconstruction service focuses on evaluating the abdomen for the location and configuration of arterial perforators. This information assists surgeons in determining which portions of fatty tissue are viable for harvesting and used in breast reconstruction, following mastectomy.
Our service extends beyond identification and isolation of key vessels for harvesting; it involves the creation of a detailed, multi-colored 3D printed model that replicates the patient’s blood vessels and anatomic structures. Such models may serve as tangible, accurate references during surgery, allowing surgeons to visualize and navigate the patient’s complex anatomy in real-time. This not only enhances surgical precision and efficiency but also has the potential to reduce operation times and improve patient outcomes by providing a clear guide to the viable blood vessels essential for the procedure.
