Prospective Longitudinal Patient-Reported Satisfaction and Health-Related Quality of Life following DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Effects of Reconstruction Timing

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Background: Without reconstruction, mastectomy alone can produce significant detrimental effects on health-related quality of life. The magnitude of quality-of-life benefits following breast reconstruction may be unique based on timing of reconstruction.

Prolonged Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis May Not Be Necessary for DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: A Tertiary Center's 10-Year Experience.

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2022
BACKGROUND  Based on the 2005 Caprini Risk Assessment Model for venous thromboembolism, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons prevention guidelines would result in prolonged chemoprophylaxis (1 week or more) for the majority of patients undergoing ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Predicting Donor Site Complications Following DIEP Flap Harvest

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2022
Background  The additional donor site incisions in autologous breast reconstruction can predispose to abdominal complications. The purpose of this study is to delineate predictors of donor site morbidity following deep inferior epigastric perforator ...

Asymmetric Four Flap Breast Reconstruction with DIEP flaps and PAP flaps

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

A comparative study between deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap breast reconstruction and DIEP flap breast reconstruction coupled with vascularized lymph node transfer: Improving the quality of life of patients with breast cancer related lymphedema without affecting donor site outcomes

Microsurgery, 2022
Despite simultaneous microvascular breast reconstruction (MBR) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) gaining wide popularity as a potential treatment for breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL), there is a lack of evidence supporting the procedure.

Diep flap sentinel skin paddle positioning algorithm [PDF]

Microsurgery, 2014
Although clinical examination alone or in combination with other techniques is the only ubiquitous method for flap monitoring, it becomes problematic with buried free‐tissue transfer. We present a DIEP flap sentinel skin paddle (SSP) positioning algorithm and its reliability is also investigated using a standardized monitoring protocol.

Minimally Invasive Approaches to DIEP flap Harvest: A review of current data

Handchirurgie, Mikrochirurgie, Plastische Chirurgie, 2022
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the female population. Autologous tissue is often used for reconstruction after mastectomy. The deep inferior epigastric (DIEP) flap is a favorite for breast reconstruction because it entails careful ...

DIEP Flap versus PAP Flap versus LAP Flap: A Propensity-Matched Analysis of Aesthetic Outcomes, Complications, and Satisfaction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Background: As free breast reconstruction options evolve, a patient- and body-centric approach can distinguish refined aesthetic outcomes. Although deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP), profunda artery perforator (PAP), and lumbar artery perforator

The Extended Diep Flap

2016
The authors describe the history of breast reconstruction and the anatomy of the DIEP flap including the arterial system of the anterior abdominal wall, DIEA musculocutaneous perforators, DIEA perfusion zones and the venous system of the anterior abdominal wall. There is a discussion of the extended DIEP Flap, extended DIEP by vasculature (stacked flap)

Inset techniques for the DIEP flap - what improves aesthetic outcomes?

Acta chirurgiae plasticae
INTRODUCTION The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is widely considered as the gold standard in breast reconstruction. The inset technique of the DIEP flap is crucial in determining the overall aesthetic outcome; however, to date no ...
