Free Flap Breast Reconstruction Using Virtual Surgical Planning and 3-D Modeling

Primary objective: Using 3D medical models of the abdomen, a virtual plan will assist reconstruction to clearly define and 3D model the normal and aberrant vascular anatomy of the donor site in order to decrease dissection time and secondary perioperative complications including fat necrosis and donor site complications. Secondary objective: To propose incision lines to match the corresponding volumetric analysis of the transposed tissue in order to facilitate the creation of a patient specific tailored flap, which will improve the aesthetic outcomes. This is a single-armed, prospective study to determine the feasibility of using 3-D virtual planning and medical modeling in breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction
