Validation of the triangular prism method using computed tomography to estimate DIEP flap weight in routine clinical practice - a St Andrew free flap audit registry study.
[INTRODUCTION] An accurate preoperative estimation of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps in breast reconstruction facilitates planning. Different methods have been proposed, but few methods have been validated for the degree o…

A UK consensus statement on thromboprophylaxis for autologous breast reconstruction.
[UNLABELLED] Microsurgical breast reconstruction accounts for 22% of breast reconstructions in the UK. Despite thromboprophylaxis, venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in up to 4% of cases. Using a Delphi process, this study established a UK…

Internal mammary perforator vessels as recipient for microvascular breast reconstruction: Technique and outcomes in 161 flaps.
[BACKGROUND] The use of internal mammary perforator (IMP) vessels as recipients for free flap breast reconstruction was first described in 1999. Despite numerous advantages over the internal mammary (IM) and thoracodorsal recipient vessels,…

Primary lipofilling as an adjunct in transverse upper gracilis flap breast reconstruction.
In many centres, the myocutaneous transverse upper gracilis (TUG) flap represents an alternative choice in autologous breast reconstruction when abdominal tissue is unavailable. However, a single TUG flap may be volume deficient, particular…

A systematic review of the scientific evidence of venous supercharging in autologous breast reconstruction with abdominally based flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Abdominally based free flaps are commonly used in breast reconstruction. A frequent complication is venous congestion, which might contribute to around 40% of flap failures. One way to deal with it is venous supercharging. The …

Unilateral breast reconstruction using double transverse upper gracilis (TUG) flaps.
[INTRODUCTION] When the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is unavailable, autologous reconstruction of a moderate-to-large breast presents a surgical challenge. We retrospectively review our experience of unilateral breast rec…

Stacked TUG and DIEP flaps to reconstruct a single breast: Expanding the scope of autologous breast reconstruction.
When the entire abdominal tissue is inadequate to match the contralateral breast volume and shape or in bilateral cases, the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap alone might not be adequate, even if bipedicled. In such cases, usi…

Comparison of PEAK PlasmaBlade™ to conventional diathermy in abdominal-based free-flap breast reconstruction surgery-A single-centre double-blinded randomised controlled trial.
[BACKGROUND] Electrosurgery makes dissection with simultaneous haemostasis possible. The produced heat can cause injury to the surrounding tissue. The PEAK PlasmaBlade™(PPB) is a new electrosurgery device which may overcome this by having t…

Characteristics and outcomes of primary interposition vascular grafts in free flap breast reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] There is paucity of data on primary interposition vascular grafts (IVG) use in microsurgery. Our study examines the characteristics, indications and outcomes of IVG in free flap breast reconstruction. [METHODS] All cases of …
