Evaluation of three-dimensional computed tomography processing for deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The deep inferior epigastric perforator flap procedure has become a popular alternative for women who require breast reconstruction. One of the difficulties with this procedure is identifying perforator arteries large enough to ensure that the harvested tissue is well vascularized. Current techniques involve imaging the perforator arteries with computed tomography (CT) to produce a g...
متن کاملMicrocirculatory Evaluation of the Abdominal Skin in Breast Reconstruction with Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap
UNLABELLED No studies have assessed the perfusion of the undermined abdominal skin in breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. A greater understanding of the procedure's impact on the perfusion of the abdominal skin can be valuable in predicting areas susceptible to necrosis. METHODS Microcirculatory changes were monitored in the abdominal skin of 20 consecu...
متن کاملNeurovascular anatomy of the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap for breast reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE To find out the most suitable perforator and cutaneous nerve for strategic design of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. MATERIAL AND METHOD The characteristics of the pedicles, perforators, intercostal nerves and the relationship between nerves and vessels in DIEP flaps were studied in 31 formalin-preserved cadavers. RESULTS Four hundred and five perforator vesse...
متن کاملEarly Experience With Barbed Sutures for Abdominal Closure in Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction
OBJECTIVE Barbed sutures have recently been introduced for closure of surgical incisions. These self-anchoring sutures incorporate evenly spaced barbs in a circumferential distribution along their length, facilitating knotless wound closure and even distribution of tension along the suture line. In this study, we evaluated postoperative complications associated with the use of unidirectional ba...
متن کاملA Preoperative Marking Template for Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap Perforators in Breast Reconstruction
Preoperative perforator marking for deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flaps is vital to the success of the procedure in breast reconstruction. Advances in imaging have facilitated accurate identification and preselection of potentially useful perforators. However, the reported imaging accuracy may be lost when preoperatively marking the patient, due to 'mapping errors', as this relies ...
