Abstract The free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap has earned a prominent place in the armamentarium of the clinician performing breast reconstructive surgery. There is, however, significant morbidity associated with this flap. With the advent of the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap many of these disadvantages may be overcome. Early experience with this promising technique is presented.
