Abstract
Comparative data on clinical outcomes and cost of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) and implant-based reconstruction (IBR) are limited. We conducted a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and cost.
