Novel Port Placement in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest Improves Visibility and Bilateral DIEP Access: Early Controlled Cohort Study

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Summary: To minimize donor-site damage, robot-assisted (RA) deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest has been suggested. Current robotic approaches favor port placement, which either does not allow a bilateral DIEP flap harvest through the

Are Surgical Drains Needed in DIEP Flap Surgery? The Drain-Free DIEP Flap Concept

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Background: Studies support an inherent morbidity associated with the use of surgical drains—such as postoperative pain, infection, reduction in mobility, and delay in patient discharge—and they do not prevent seroma or hematoma. The authors’ series aims

Replacing an Implant-Based with a DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Breast Sensation and Quality of Life

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Background: In this cohort study, the authors compared breast sensation and quality of life (QoL) after replacement of an implant-based breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction in a singular sample of ...

The Superficial Vein–Only DIEP Flap

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
We read with interest this retrospective investigation by Nigro et al.,1 although we find that the conclusion is insufficiently supported. While discussing the results, the authors mention that “these values are not significantly different”; they refer to a statistical analysis by means of the t test, but do not present any P values.
