Abstract
We present 25 consecutive cases (28 DIEP flaps) performed in our service during the past 5 years for different indications in lower extremity aesthetic and functional reconstruction, both as pedicled or free flaps. The amount of tissue provided, its reliable vascular supply and long and adequately sized pedicles, together with its limited donor-site morbidity make it a useful alternative free flap.
