Traditionally, latissimus dorsi (LD) flaps have been the one-stop solution workhorse when volume replacement is needed. We present our experience with thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) and superior epigastric artery perforator (SEAP) flaps. These flaps allow the preservation of muscle structure and function.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Material and Methods\u2003Data were collected prospectively of patients in whom pedicled perforator flaps after BCT were used. A handheld 8-MHz audio Doppler was used to locate the perforators. TDAP flaps were used in four patients, whereas SEAP flaps were used in two patients. Skin paddle sizes ranged from 10 \u00d7 3 cm to 21 \u00d7 7 cm.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\nResults\u2003TDAP flaps were used in four patients, whereas SEAP flaps were used in two patients All flaps survived. No flap had partial necrosis or fat necrosis. All donor sites were closed primarily and healed uneventfully, and none had a seroma requiring aspiration.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\nConclusion\u2003TDAP flaps can be selectively employed when the LD muscle function needs to be preserved. SEAP flaps can also be employed as a rare option in case of lower inner quadrant defects. Pedicled perforator flaps are a useful and reliable option for volume replacement OBS in select patients for reconstructing partial mastectomy defects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-3400688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,26]],"date-time":"2019-12-26T23:34:27Z","timestamp":1577403267000},"page":"304-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator and Superior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flaps for Volume Replacement Oncoplastic Breast Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Dushyant","family":"Jaiswal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prabha Subhash","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vinay Kant","family":"Shankhdhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tasneem Jaffer","family":"Belgaumwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,26]]},"container-title":["Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0039-3400688.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,2]],"date-time":"2020-01-02T07:57:50Z","timestamp":1577951870000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0039-3400688"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,31]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0039-3400688","relation":{},"ISSN":["0970-0358","1998-376X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0970-0358","type":"print"},{"value":"1998-376X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,9]]}}}
