A retrospective chart review will be conducted to identify patients who received breast reconstruction surgery with DIEP flaps by a single plastic surgeon in one medical center between November 2018 and July 2022. Patients will be grouped based on how the mastectomy was performed, via minimally invasive or conventional approach. Demographic data, flap profile, vessel anastomosis and post-operative complication will be retrospectively reviewed. Data collection includes patient demographics, previous breast surgical history, breast cancer history and adjuvant therapy, surgical details and postoperative events.
