ABSTRACT

Free tissue transfer has become routine practice in modern plastic surgery. The technique permits surgeons the flexibility to transfer the most suitable tissue for reconstruction. This has become possible largely due to the continued advances in microscope technology. There are however several drawbacks with even the newest traditional operating microscopes. They are usually large, heavy and although highly adjustable often require surgeons to adopt an unnatural and uncomfortable position which many of us have simply learned to live with. We describe the use of a new high-definition 3D camera system (Stortz VITOM 3D) in place of a traditional microscope to perform DIEP flap breast reconstructions in two patients. The use of this equipment has been described in other surgical specialities where a number of it s benefits, including improved ergonomics for surgical team, have been highlighted. We explore the specific benefits and considerations for its use in free flap reconstruction of the breast .
