Sensation in Neurotized Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction With Different Donor Nerves: Comparing T11 and T12.
[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap can be reliably neurotized for autologous breast reconstruction. In standard fashion, a sensory branch of intercostal nerve T11 or T12 of the DIEP flap is coapted to the anter…

Botulinum toxin injection of the lower esophageal sphincter to identify achalasia-variant esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction.
Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) can be an achalasia variant caused by neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), or the manometric manifestation of mechanical processes that impair EGJ distensibi…

A Comparative Analysis of Sensory Return in Delayed-Immediate Versus Immediate Neurotized Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction patients who anticipate adjuvant radiation are not suitable candidates for immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction due to the risk of flap fibrosis, shrinkage, and fat necr…

A Pilot Study Comparing Sensation in Buried Versus Nonburied Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Neurotized deep inferior epigastic perforator (DIEP) flaps have been shown to improve sensory recovery after mastectomy and reconstruction. With the recent trend toward nipple-sparing mastectomies, sensation likely originates w…

Comparing Autologous to Device-Based Breast Reconstruction: A Pilot Study of Return in Breast Sensation.
[BACKGROUND] Poor breast sensation is common after mastectomy and reconstruction. In this study, we aim to define the temporal pattern of sensory changes after reconstruction and to compare the return in sensation between autologous and dev…

Spastic secondary contractile patterns identified by FLIP panometry in symptomatic patients with unremarkable high-resolution manometry.
[BACKGROUND] Functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) panometry can show spastic secondary contractile patterns of unclear significance in symptomatic patients who have no esophageal obstructive disorders, and no motility disorders on high-res…
