“…The most commonly used autologous reconstructive methods, however, are the pedicled transverse rectus myocutaneous flap (TRAM) and latissimus flaps. In a pedicled TRAM flap, the rectus muscle and overlying skin and subcutaneous tissue are rotated into the mastectomy, and the inferior epigastric artery is severed (Kaya and Serel, 2013;Dunlop and Caminer, 2014). One of the disadvantages of this method is that most of the women take 2 to 4 months to return to their previous level of capacity, and because the position of the muscles changes, there is a greater decline in upper abdominal strength in these patients (Atisha and Alderman, 2009).…”

Women who underwent mastectomy alone, compared with women who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with abdominal flaps, showed differences in the vertical alignment of the trunk, with greater asymmetry between the acromion and greater trochanter, which can mean trunk rotation. No significant differences were found between the two groups in the alignment of the head, shoulders, scapula, or pelvis. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
