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

Plastic & 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

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.

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

The Superficial Vein–Only DIEP Flap

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Background: The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap, often considered the standard in autologous breast reconstruction, is reliant on robust arterial inflow and venous outflow. Venous outflow issues remain a critical part in determining the success of the DIEP flap.

Operative Time Predicts Long-Term Abdominal Morbidity and Complication Requiring Treatment after DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2023
Background  The relationship between skin-to-skin operative time and long-term complications, as well as complications requiring treatment, after deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstructions has not been thoroughly investigated.

Asymmetric Four-Flap Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flaps and PAP Flaps

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Summary: Autologous breast reconstruction is considered superior to alloplastic options. In cases of large-volume breast reconstruction, stacked flaps from a single area or multiple donor areas are required. In bilateral stacked four-flap reconstructions, when a large amount of skin is required, an asymmetric reconstruction ...

Venous Thromboembolism after DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Review of Outcomes after a Postoperative Prophylaxis Protocol

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Background: Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction is among the higher-risk patient groups for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in plastic surgery.

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 ...
