Breathing simulator helps doctors master reconstruction surgery for breast cancer patients

Sunnybrook has developed a simulator that mimics a patient's breathing, to help doctors-in-training master an intricate surgical procedure called the DIEP flap. The DIEP flap is a breast reconstruction procedure that transfers a patient's own tissue from their abdomen to their breast following a mastectomy. Learn more at sunnybrook.ca/mag
