Hi, my sister had tram flap surgery a year ago, and now she is having complications, and I am worried if she will have to remove it for her own good.

Hi, I had tram flap done after doctor explained me it was better for me than mastectomy. But, he didn’t ask me if I had any bowel problems or with other pelvic organs. I was interested in other methods but they told me this one would suit me best. Now, I realize that doctors only wanted many from insurance for the surgery. It is the rectus muscles, which hold in the bowels and support the spine that is attached to the breast to replace extorted tissue. Risks such as hernias, fat necrosis, asymmetry of the abdomen, and possible spreading of cancer cells to pectoral muscle are not to be neglected before this surgery.
