**5.2 TDAP flap**

TDAP or Thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is based on perforators of the thoracodorsal artery. It was first described by Angrigiani in 1992 since then it has been a good source of regional tissue for partial or total breast reconstruction [6]. Being a local or regional flap, it can provide the best color and texture to match the breast. However, it has been used mainly for small defects. Ebraheim and Manas have described using it for post-burn breast contracture especially inferior pole contracture with excellent results and they recommend using more bulky tissue for reconstruction after the recreated defect of grade III breast contracture as TDAP alone will be insufficient [7].
