  • Discuss the subtleties of selection of lipodermal flaps, ADMs or other meshes and the circumstances where each might be used
  • Describe the individual features and origins of the different ADMs and meshes that are commonly available in Australia and New Zealand
  • Appraise the surgical and multidisciplinary pressures that influence the options for immediate versus delayed breast reconstruction, considering the existing evidence and the challenges of conducting further high quality research in this area.
