Over the last year I have done over a dozen DIEP flap breast reconstructions at Huntington Hospital, NY.  This is a relatively small Hospital that gives excellent care. The hospital has made the commitment to purchase a new microscope that will be perfect for the DIEP flap microsurgery required.  This will allow me to perform the procedure more efficiently.  Prior to my arrival this procedure was not performed at this hospital.  Patients who wanted breast reconstruction either had a TRAM flap or implant based breast reconstruction
