An Algorithmic Approach to Total Breast Reconstruction with Free Tissue Transfer [PDF]

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2013
As microvascular techniques continue to improve, perforator flap free tissue transfer is now the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Various options are available for breast reconstruction with autologous tissue.

Reliability of Perforator-based UPM Flap for Coverage of Little Finger and Dorsal Hand Defect

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022
Background:. There are different approaches for reconstruction of little finger and dorsal hand defects. The ulnar parametacarpal flap, first introduced by Backhach et al in 1995, is considered a good option for reconstructing such defects. In this study,

Experimental swine models for perforator flap dissection in reconstructive microsurgery.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundPerforator flaps account for a fraction of reconstructive procedures despite their growing popularity. Specific microsurgical skills are required for successful harvesting of perforator flaps, which are difficult to attain through direct ...

An Innovative Approach for Preoperative Perforator Flap Planning Using Contrast-enhanced B-flow Imaging

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
SUMMARY. Precise perforator mapping of the epifascial and subcutaneous course of the perforator flaps, including the precise detection of the skin point, is mandatory for successful preoperative flap design and planning of supramicrosurgery.

Thin and superthin perforator flap elevation based on preoperative planning with ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2020
The ability to directly harvest thin and superthin perforator flaps without jeopardizing their vascularity depends on knowledge of the microsurgical vascular anatomy of each perforator within the subcutaneous tissue up to the dermis.

Impact of Diameter of Perforator in Pedicle and Different Managements of Intermediate Non-Pedicle Perforator on Flap Survival in Rats

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2022
Backgrounds The quantified relationship between perforator diameter and flap length can be supported, and the impact of different strategies of managements of a non-pedicled perforator with two major subfascial divisions on flap survival has never been ...

Detrimental Effect of Sitagliptin Induced Autophagy on Multiterritory Perforator Flap Survival

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Multiterritory perforator flap survival is commonly applied in surgical tissue reconstructions and covering of large skin defects. However, multiple risk factors such as ischemia, reperfusion injury, and apoptosis after reconstructive surgeries cause ...

The perforator-centralizing technique for super-thin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps: Minimizing the partial necrosis rate

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2021
Background Despite the wide demand for thin flaps for various types of extremity reconstruction, the thin elevation technique for anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps is not very popular because of its technical difficulty and safety concerns.

Increased Flap Weight and Decreased Perforator Number Predict Fat Necrosis in DIEP Breast Reconstruction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2013
Background: Compromised perfusion in autologous breast reconstruction results in fat necrosis and flap loss. Increased flap weight with fewer perforator vessels may exacerbate imbalances in flap perfusion.
