3D-printed vascular models can enhance flap harvesting efficiency in abdominal free flap breast reconstruction, reducing the use of operating room time. However, no economic analyses with respect to model use in this context have been conducted to date. As such, this study examines model cost-benefit tradeoffs for use in abdominal free flap breast reconstruction.
