After a mastectomy or double-mastectomy due to breast cancer, some women choose to undergo breast reconstruction surgery. We now offer the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap procedure, a highly-specialized microvascular surgery for women looking for breast reconstruction options. Our expert team has performed over 900 microvascular procedures in the last seven years, ensuring a high-quality surgical and post surgical care experience.

Benefits of DIEP Flap Surgery

• Reduced post-operative pain
• Faster recovery times
• Lower risk of losing abdominal muscle strength vs. other procedures
• Uses your body's own tissue to rebuild the breast, making it a more natural option in comparison to prosthetic reconstruction
• Doesn't degrade over time like many synthetic alternatives

Histotripsy uses diagnostic ultrasound to identify and target liver-tumor cells. High-intensity sound waves are then used to eliminate cancerous liver tumors without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Because this revolutionary non-invasive procedure involves no needles or incisions, patients do not have to worry about scarring.

AdventHealth is the first and only hospital system in Central Florida to offer this new, FDA-approved procedure. Histotripsy is currently offered at AdventHealth Altamonte Springs and AdventHealth Celebration.
