Abstract 16. Time-Dependent Factors in Diep Flap Breast Reconstruction
BACKGROUND The process of harvesting and performing microsurgical anastomosis may lengthen deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction affecting results and patient safety. The aim of the study was to investigate the associations between predictors and operative time (OT). METHODS Between 2004 and 2016, 336 immediate and 68 delayed unilateral reconstructions w...
متن کاملEpigastric hernia following DIEP flap breast reconstruction: complication or coincidence?
OBJECTIVE Donor site hernias are a rare but well recognised complication of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction but there are no reported cases of epigastric hernias after such surgery. We report three patients who developed symptomatic epigastric hernias within 2-8 months after discharge from follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who were referred to the ...
متن کاملDIEP flap breast reconstruction preserving a lumbar peritoneal shunt tube
We herein report a case of immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP flap) breast reconstruction surgery in a 50-year-old female patient with a lumbar peritoneal shunt tube. We performed DIEP flap reconstruction in the patient by withdrawing and subsequently reinserting the abdominal side of an implanted shunt tube.
متن کاملFour-flap Breast Reconstruction: Bilateral Stacked DIEP and PAP Flaps
BACKGROUND In cases of bilateral breast reconstruction when the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap alone does not provide sufficient volume for body-specific reconstruction, stacking each DIEP flap with a second free flap will deliver added volume and maintain a purely autologous reconstruction. Stacking the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap with the DIEP flap offers favor...
متن کاملThe evolution of perforator flap breast reconstruction: twenty years after the first DIEP flap.
It is over 20 years since the inaugural deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. We review the type of flap utilized and indications in 2,850 microvascular breast reconstruction over the subsequent 20 years in the senior author's practice (Robert J. Allen). Data were extracted from a personal logbook of all microsurgical free flap breast reconstructions performed b...
