[Fifty years of plastic surgery in the Netherlands. IX. Reconstructive surgery illustrated by breast reconstruction].
The earliest reports on reconstructive surgery are more than two thousand years old. However, the most significant developments took place in the past four decades. At the beginning of the 21st century we are able to perform reconstructions with a moderate functional and good cosmetic result and limited donor site morbidity. The reconstructive options regarding the mammary region include application of mammary implantation only, and techniques in which autologous tissues are applied, with or without implantations. Autologous tissue is used in transposition of the M. latissimus dorsi, in application of the myocutaneous flap of the M. rectus abdominis ('transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap' (TRAM flap)), which is refined in the 'deep inferior epigastric artery perforator' (DIEP) flap procedure.
