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 ...

O030 DIEP flap reconstruction- a single-centre comparison of unipedicled and bipedicled DIEP flaps

British Journal of Surgery, 2023
Abstract Introduction The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. One or two pedicles may be used. Our study is the first to compare unipedicled vs bipedicled DIEP flaps on donor site morbidity and breast outcomes in the same set of ...

Deliberate Practice and Process Analysis in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: An Immediate and Sustained Decrease in Morbidity and Operative Time

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Background: Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps are nuanced, multistep, complex procedures. Recent studies have hinted that operational flow can be a sensitive barometer for safety, efficiency, and overall outcomes.

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 ...

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,

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:

Nerve Coaptation Improves the Sensory Recovery of the Breast in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2021
Background: Restoring the sensation of the reconstructed breast has increasingly become a goal of autologous breast reconstruction. The aim of this study was to analyze the sensory recovery of the breast and donor site of innervated compared to ...
