Pedicled Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap in Breast Reconstruction: Clinical Experience
BACKGROUND The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has been described for reconstruction of the head and neck, trunk and extremities. Yet, its use as a pedicled flap in breast reconstruction has not gained wide popularity and has not been widely documented, especially not for complete breast reconstruction or in combination with expanders or permanent implants. The authors present their...
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 کاملNear-Infrared Fluorescence Optical Imaging and Tomography
The advent of recent advances in near-infrared laser diodes and fast electro-optic detection has spawned a new research field of diagnostic spectroscopy and imaging based on targeting and reporting exogenous fluorescent agents. This review seeks to concisely address the physics, instrumentation, advancements in tomography, and near-infrared fluorescent contrast agent development that promises s...
متن کاملIntraoperative Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging in Robotic Low Anterior Resection: Three Case Reports
The recent introduction of an intraoperative near infrared fluorescence (INIF) imaging system installed on the da Vinci Si® robotic system has enabled surgeons to identify intravascular NIF signals in real time. This technology is useful in identifying hidden vessels and assessing blood supply to bowel segments. In this study, we report 3 cases of patients with rectal cancer who underwent robot...
متن کاملImplant augmentation after perforator flap breast reconstruction.
We congratulate Figus and colleagues on their series of 14 patients with DIEP flap breast reconstruction who underwent immediate (14 implants) or delayed (four implants) augmentation. We concur that implant augmentation offers an effective option for optimising the results of autologous tissue breast reconstruction but have independently taken a different approach. We would like to share our re...
