Meticulous attention to operative details is essential to the success of the transverse abdominal island flap in each phase of the procedure: raising the flap, transfer to the anterior chest wall, molding the flap, and repair of the donor site. This will culminate in a rewarding procedure for reconstruction of the breast by autogenous tissue.
