Abstract: 8.10 Bipedicle Flap For Unilateral Autologous Breast Reconstruction Revisited: Evolution And Optimization Of Flap Design Over 15 Years

چکیده
IntroductIon: Free flap necrosis has a frequent occurrence and results in high morbidity, however there is still no quantitative method to image and measure perfusion during the operation. Optical techniques could be the answer to this problem. These techniques image perfusion directly during surgery and give a high-resolution and high-contrast image comparable to microscopy. In this study we test the feasibility, validity and reproducibility of four optical techniques: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Sidestream Darkfield Microscopy (SDF), Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and Fluorescence Imaging (FI).

Bipedicle-conjoined perforator flaps in breast reconstruction.
BACKGROUND For some patients seeking autologous breast reconstruction, there may be insufficient abdominal skin and soft tissue to reconstruct an adequately sized breast. Perfusion from a single-pedicle deep inferior epigastric perforator artery flap has a high degree of variability across the midline, and this further limits perfusion. We have found that bipedicle-conjoined abdominal perforato...
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...

ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...
متن کاملNEW APPLICATION FOR THE BITEMPORAL (VISOR) FLAP IN RECONSTRUCTION OF ADVANCED LOWER LIP CARCINOMA
Background: Lip carcinoma is a common cancer with a good prognosis and when patients refer early in the course of disease the results of treatment are acceptable. Surgical procedures for reconstruction of lip defects are the use of remaining lip tissue, tissue from the opposite lip, adjacent cheek tissue, distant flaps and microvascular free flaps. The bitemporal (visor) flap is a regional...
