I must come back and finish this video... I find the story just opposite of what I had to do, not by choice but by necessity. In 2009, after a cancer diagnosis where one breast had two sources of cancer, I opted for bilateral mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. Unfortunately, despite numerous surgeries to try to establish blood flow, the flap failed. I had one side where the flap was successful. It was a heartwrenching decision I was forced to make... keep one flap and have an implant on the other side? Two implants? No implants? Typing this brings back a flood of memories. I look forward to finishing the video to hear the outcome. It is many years out from that time, but the implants I have still feel like a foreign body, too. And I want a change. Linda
I loved this video, Teri & I would be very interested in seeing a video to do with failed left & right diep flaps & if you can get new left & right microsurgical flaps. I appreciate your time & thank you!
Here is a video with Dr. Matatov on hybrid DIEP. Stay tuned because there is an updated one coming out soon with him addressing hybrid DIEPs for radiation. Here you go. ruclips.net/video/sw33PTNCiGs/видео.html
@@DiepCFoundation thank you. I am having the surgery in March due to damage from radiation with Dr. Matatov, so I'mv curious. Every patient appreciates all that you do. If you need a patient to interview for this I am open to that, since it seems to be a procedure not as many speak about.

does anyone know if there are any videos that speak of DIEP/DIEDP Hybrid as an option due to implant damage from radiation
