Expert faculty discuss strategies to optimize abdominal donor site outcomes, prevent complications, and manage complex reconstructions when donor site challenges arise. Participants will gain practical insights into surgical planning, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative management to improve both functional and aesthetic results for their patients.
