Abstract

Fat necrosis is a common complication of autologous breast reconstruction; however, diagnostic criteria are yet to be standardized, making comparison of autologous breast reconstructive techniques challenging. A systematic review found six of 556 articles met inclusion criteria. These results were used to generate an algorithm for managing fat necrosis after autologous breast reconstruction.
