Volumetric Feasibility of Lumbar Artery Perforator Flaps Compared to Abdominal Flaps for Breast Reconstruction in Low-BMI Patients: A CT-Based Study

Key Points

• Lumbar artery perforator flaps show promising volumetric feasibility for breast reconstruction in low-BMI patients.
• The study found that these flaps can effectively match abdominal flaps in volume for reconstruction needs.
• In-depth assessment using CT imaging focused on volume comparisons and potential patient benefits.
• Findings may guide surgical choices for breast reconstruction, particularly in those with lower body mass index.
