Abstract (original English)

The intercostal perforator fasciocutaneous flap has previously been described in addressing defects in the breast, trunk and arm 1,2,. We describe the first case of an inter-costal artery perforator adipofascial flap in the reconstruction of the male chest following overcorrection of gynaecomastia.
