Abstract 36. Cost Analysis of Two Staged Implants with Alloderm and Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Autologous Reconstruction

Purpose: Two staged tissue expander-implant reconstruction with acellular matrix (TE/I+ADM) and deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps (DIEP) are the most common implant and autologous methods of reconstruction in the U.S. respectively. Implant based techniques are disproportionally more popular, partially due to their presumed cost effectiveness
