Our guest is Dr. Jonathan Bank, MD, of NYBRA (New York Breast Reconstruction and Aesthetic) Plastic Surgery in Great Neck New York. Dr. Bank is a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in microvascular breast reconstruction and surgery.

We begin our discussion with a definition of scar adhesions and the affect in abdominal area, the abdominal area deeper than that in a DIEP flap breast reconstruction, which uses the lower abdominal tissue. The scars that form from DIEP flap are outside of the abdominal cavity and this scar tissue can be manipulated and massaged using physical therapy when patients feel discomfort after DIEP flap.

Dr. Bank continues by explaining via slides that DIEP flap is not an intra-abdominal procedure. Rather it uses the skin, tissue, and blood vessels of the lower abdomen. He introduces robotic surgery and its development over time in microsurgery and specifically DIEP flap. It is still evolving.
