Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"
DOI: 10.1002/jso.26269
Abstract: We report, for the first time in the literature, a metastatic lymphatic pathway along the inferior epigastric vessels, through the inferior epigastric lymph nodes (IELNs), in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Interestingly, these lymph nodes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30403
Abstract: Large upper medial thigh defects in prior irradiated tissue require challenging reconstructions. Several techniques have been reported to reconstruct this region and according to the literature, pedicled perforator flaps are the first reconstructive option. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30856
Abstract: Reducing donor site morbidity after deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap harvest relies mainly upon maintaining integrity of the anterior rectus sheath fascia. The purpose of this study is to describe our minimally‐invasive technique… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.31169
Abstract: It is important to include as many perforators as possible in order to enhance the vascularity of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. However, the rectus muscle must be transected transversely, which prevents suturing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cps.2016.12.006
Abstract: Use of the retrograde limb of the internal mammary vein has been described previously as a lifeboat for venous congestion but not prophylactically. Maximizing the length of the deep inferior artery perforator (DIEP) flap pedicle,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-2355-3875
Abstract: Abstract Background Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap is nowadays considered the gold standard in breast reconstruction. However, venous congestion is still a leading cause of free flap failure. Despite the conspicuous articles regarding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-2404-1924
Abstract: Abstract Background Breast anesthesia and hypoesthesia occur commonly after mastectomy and negatively impact quality of life. Neurotization during deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) breast reconstruction offers enhanced sensory recovery. However, access to neurotization for DIEP… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1748645
Abstract: In lower abdominal flap representing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap or deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV) exists as superficial and independent venous system from deep system. The superficial… read more here.
