DIEP and Pedicled TRAM Flaps: A Comparison of Outcomes

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2006
Studies comparing similar and sizable numbers of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) and pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap reconstructions are lacking. The authors hoped to determine whether the DIEP flap has advantages over the pedicled TRAM flap for breast reconstruction.The authors retrospectively reviewed the ...

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 ...

The Donut DIEP Flap: A Novel Scarless Technique

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
Summary: Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap surgery is a common technique for breast reconstruction. However, the long and noticeable abdominal scar is one of its greatest disadvantages. Here, the authors suggest a minimal scarring DIEP flap harvest with a novel abdominal design.

Outcomes of DIEP flap and fluorescent angiography: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Breast reconstruction with DIEP flap can be associated with complications such as fat necrosis. Our objective was to assess the safety and efficacy of fluorescent angiography with indocyanine green (FA-ICG) to reduce fat necrosis. METHODS We

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 ...
