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)

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

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.

Predicting results of DIEP flap reconstruction: The flap viability index

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2012
Worldwide experience with the DIEP flap has established its pre-eminent role in breast reconstruction after mastectomy. CT angiographic vascular imaging has enhanced the planning of reconstruction, allowing mapping of perforator patterns to increase the predictability of surgery.

Refined DIEP Flap Technique for Vaginal Reconstruction

Urology, 2009
To report our experience with vaginal reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Vaginal reconstruction can be accomplished with a variety of flaps, depending on the defect. The use of perforator flaps, however, is still uncommon.From June 2007 to April 2008, 5 patients with congenital vaginal absence and 1 patient with a ...

The Low DIEP Flap

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2016
A serious drawback of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is an abdominal scar that is too high. Because the umbilicus should be incorporated into the flap territory, lowering the scar is very difficult. This report describes a new DIEP flap design where the flap is placed in the lowermost part of the abdomen, well below the umbilicus ...

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 ...

Free DIEP flap breast augmentation following excessive reduction

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2003
A two-stage procedure using bilateral free DIEP flaps to correct excessive bilateral breast reduction is described. The reconstructive challenge was to achieve satisfactory breast projection on a large torso without recourse to prosthetic implants or extensive back scars.
