Clinical and Cost‐Effectiveness of Intraoperative Flap Perfusion Assessment With Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography in Breast and Head and Neck Reconstructions: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Microsurgery, Volume 44, Issue 8, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICGFA) is gaining popularity for the assessment of reconstructive flap perfusion intraoperatively. This study analyses the literature with a focus on its clinical efficacy and cost‐effectiveness across various plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures.

Postoperative Morbidity Outcomes Associated With Superficial Temporal Versus Cervical Vessels as Recipient Vessels in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Microsurgery, Volume 44, Issue 8, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to compare the surgical outcomes of head and neck reconstruction via free flap surgery, with neck vessels versus superficial temporal vessels as recipient vessels. Methods The PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were systematically searched via the following keywords: (“superficial temporal” OR

Quantifying Blood Flow in the DIEP Flap

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open, 2014
The maximum weight of tissue that a single perforator can perfuse remains an important question in reconstructive microsurgery. An empirically based equation, known as the flap viability index (FVI), has been established to determine what weight of tissue will survive on one or more perforators.

Comparing Safety Profiles of Skin‐Sparing and Nipple‐Sparing Mastectomy With Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective Analysis

Microsurgery, Volume 44, Issue 8, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Mastectomy is performed prior to or concurrently with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. However, the complication rates of nipple‐sparing mastectomy (NSM) versus skin‐sparing mastectomy (SSM) with DIEP are not well‐characterized.

Immediate Bilateral Breast Reconstruction with Unilateral Deep Superior Epigastric Artery and Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Flaps [PDF]

, 2016
Autologous breast reconstruction utilizing a perforator flap is an increasingly popular method for reducing donor site morbidity and implant-related complications. However, aberrant anatomy not readily visible on computed tomography angiography is a rare

Reevaluation of Recipient Vessel Selection in Breast Free Flap Reconstruction

Microsurgery, Volume 44, Issue 7, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Current consensus has established the internal mammary vessels (IMV) over the thoracodorsal vessels (TDV) as the preferred recipients for microvascular breast reconstruction due to their superior flow rates and long‐established outcomes.

The Impact of Perforator Number on Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2014
BackgroundPerforator flaps minimize abdominal site morbidity during autologous breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the number of perforators harvested influences the overall deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP ...

Preoperative Imaging for Perforator Flaps in Reconstructive Surgery [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Although preoperative imaging of perforator vasculature in planning microvascular reconstruction is commonplace, there has not been any clear demonstration of the evidence for this practice, or data comparing the many available modalities in ...
