The number of perforators, topographic mapping, and their relationship with reconstructed outcomes were investigated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Fifty patients with Island TRAM breast reconstruction from September 2021 to August 2022 were investigated. The zone I was divided into a total of eight sections. Under the loupe magnification, all perforators larger than 0.5\u2009mm in zone I were counted with fine dissection, and photographs were taken in background of vessel loops. Complications like flap necrosis, seroma, and hematoma were also investigated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Result\u2003There are 12 ideal perforators on average in zone I such as one perforator in section I, II, IV, V, VI, VIII, and three perforators in section III and VII. However, two perforators (M6 and L6) below arcuate line were sacrificed in the time of flap harvest to prevent hernia. Island TRAM included 10 perforators on average (5 perforators in each side) above arcuate line to be transferred to the recipient site. Only minor complications were identified.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The Island TRAM flap includes 10 perforators to get the vigorous blood flow. The periumbilical to upper medial perforators become more dominant in the perfusion of the flap after deep inferior epigastric artery division. Well preserved perforators will guarantee the satisfactory breast reconstruction with the least complication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2093-8323","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T22:55:06Z","timestamp":1684191306000},"page":"354-360","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforators Topography for \u201cIsland Transverse Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flap\u201d in Breast Reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1491-4930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tae Hyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University Graduate School of Medicine, 59 Yatap-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4407-2914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong Heum","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University Graduate School of Medicine, 59 Yatap-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6810-5752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hee Chang","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University Graduate School of Medicine, 59 Yatap-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1047","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181b457b2","article-title":"The pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap: indications, techniques, and outcomes","volume":"124","author":"D W Buck II","year":"2009","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"703","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(20)31402-4","article-title":"The transverse abdominal island flap for breast reconstruction.
