To Ablate or Not to Ablate: Does Umbilectomy Decrease Donor-Site Complications in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Background: Improving outcomes for deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction is an evolving area of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of umbilectomy in abdominally based breast reconstruction. Methods:

The Influence of the Superficial Venous System on DIEP Flap Drainage in Breast Reconstruction

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2023
Background  Autologous tissue has become the gold standard in breast reconstruction. The use of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap has the advantages of giving a natural appearance to the reconstructed breast and being associated with ...

Indocyanine Green–Guided Near-Infrared Fluorescence Enhances Vascular Anatomy in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Summary: Indocyanine green–guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest.

Microvascular Complications of DIEP Flaps

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2007
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap has become a popular option for breast reconstruction because of reduced donor-site morbidity. As the number of perforators per flap is reduced, vascular compromise may develop. Venous congestion can occur despite patent primary venous anastomosis.A prospective series of 100 consecutive DIEP flaps in ...

Hemodynamic Changes in the Microcirculation of DIEP Flaps

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2008
Perforator flaps are widely used in reconstructive surgery, but little is known about the hemodynamic changes within these flaps. Recently, the blood velocity in the perforator artery was shown to be higher than that at the source vessel. This study was carried out to demonstrate the effect of this increased velocity within the perforators in the ...

The Robotic DIEP Flap

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
Summary: The history of autologous breast reconstruction has been characterized by the desire for progressively increasing reliability with decreasing donor-site morbidity. The robotic deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap permits the longest possible pedicle harvest through the smallest possible fascial incision and,

Closed-Incision Negative-Pressure Therapy Reduces Donor-Site Surgical Wound Dehiscence in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstructions: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Background: In breast reconstruction operations, surgical wound dehiscence is a serious complication that generates a significant burden on patients and health care systems. There are indications that postoperative treatment with closed-incision negative-

Holographic Augmented Reality for DIEP Flap Harvest

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
Background: During a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest, the identification and localization of the epigastric arteries and its perforators are crucial. Holographic augmented reality is an innovative technique that can be used to visualize this patient-specific anatomy extracted from a computed tomographic ...

Clinical Relevance of Sensory Nerve Coaptation in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction Evaluated Using the BREAST-Q

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Background: Sensory nerve coaptation in autologous breast reconstruction positively affects sensory recovery in the reconstructed breast. However, patient-reported outcomes are lacking and no conclusions on the clinical relevance of nerve coaptation ...
