Banking a hemiabdominal DIEP flap: oncologic indications.
We read with great interest the article by Shridharani et al. (2009) describing the banking of a surplus hemiabdominal deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap for future use. The authors describe a novel surgical technique and useful indication, particularly in the case of difficult flap harvest and/or junior microsurgical staff. We have also described a similar technique of bank...
متن کاملBreast Reinnervation: DIEP Neurotization Using the Third Anterior Intercostal Nerve
BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to evaluate a new method of DIEP flap neurotization using a reliably located recipient nerve. We hypothesize that neurotization by this method (with either nerve conduit or direct nerve coaptation) will have a positive effect on sensory recovery. METHODS Fifty-seven deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps were performed on 35 patients. Neurot...
متن کاملQuantifying Blood Flow in the DIEP Flap: An Ultrasonographic Study
BACKGROUND The maximum weight of tissue that a single perforator can perfuse remains an important question in reconstructive microsurgery. An empirically based equation, known as the flap viability index (FVI), has been established to determine what weight of tissue will survive on one or more perforators. The equation is FVI = Sum d(n)^4/W, where d is the internal diameter of each perforator a...
متن کاملPerfusion zones of the DIEP flap revisited: a clinical study.
BACKGROUND The Hartrampf perfusion zones of the lower abdominal flap are generally accepted. They were empirically based on the clinical impression of the perfusion in the first 16 unipedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps and have been uncritically adopted for the free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous and the free deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap...
متن کاملTHE BENEFITS OF OUTPATIENT SURGERY OVER SURGERY IN THE HOSPITAL: REPORT OF 4177 UROLOGIC OUTPATIENT OPERA TIONS
From 1983 until 1987, 4177 outpatient urologic procedures were performed at Shahid Labbafi Nejad Medical Center. 34% of the cases were open surgical, while 66% were endourologic procedures. There was no surgical complication related to the outpatient aspect of the procedure. Rate of infection in open surgical cases was almost zero. The number of procedures was increased each succeeding yea...
