Denver Plastic Surgeon Dr. Conrad Tirre attends course on Latest Techniques in Breast Reconstruction

June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Denver Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Conrad Tirre recently attended a Breast Reconstruction course in St. Louis to learn the latest techniques in breast reconstruction using a woman's own tissue. Currently the majority of breast reconstructions in the United States are done with implants or with pedicled transverse rectus abdominus (TRAM) flaps.  While these methods are effective, there are many other reconstructive methods, such as free tissue transfer and other muscle flaps ideal for certain patients.  

Breast reconstruction can be performed using an expander/implant placement, TRAM, Free TRAM, DIEP/SIEP, or Latissimus flap.  Trained in Microsurgery, Dr. Conrad Tirre is able to bring to Denver the reconstructive microsurgical options to keep patients at home during their reconstruction process.  Dr. Tirre works closely with breast cancer specialists at several local hospitals educating patients on their many options available.   Additionally, Dr. Tirre is one of a few of board certified plastic surgeons in Denver offering the DIEP flap for patients.    

Dr. Conrad Tirre states, "I hope one day my breast reconstruction services will no longer be needed because we have found the cure for breast cancer.  Until that day, I feel it is important to stay up to date on the techniques and options available to help my patients navigate through their reconstruction options."
