Area of Science:

  • Anatomical studies
  • Surgical anatomy
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps are crucial in reconstructive surgery.
  • Acquiring extended DIEP flaps requires precise anatomical understanding.
  • Digital anatomical data can enhance surgical planning and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an applied and digital anatomical foundation for harvesting extended DIEP flaps.
  • To utilize 3D imaging techniques for detailed visualization of DIEP perforators.
  • To facilitate improved clinical application of DIEP flap procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection of formalin-fixed specimens with latex injection.
  • Arteriography on cadavers followed by spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning.
  • 3D reconstruction of DIEP perforators using Mimics software with volume rendering (VR) and dynamic reconstruction (DR).

Main Results:

  • DIEP arteries' medial row perforators are in the medial 1/3, lateral row in the lateral 1/3 of the rectus abdominis muscle.
  • Perforators are concentrated within 8.0 cm, notably 4.0 cm, around the umbilicus, with diameters ≥0.8 mm and associated nerves.
  • VR and DR methods enabled intuitive visualization and free combination of adjacent perforators for extended flap design.

Conclusions:

  • Large extended DIEP flaps with nerves can be harvested based on this anatomical data.
  • Selecting perforators near the umbilicus is recommended for DIEP flap design.
  • Mimics software's VR and DR methods provide a convenient and intuitive 3D model for extended DIEP flaps.
