Sensated Conjoined DIEP Flaps and Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer: Ferrari Flap

Abstract

Conclusion:Operative time (per hour) independently predicts morbidity, UR and LOS in DIEP flaps. Furthermore, 5 hours and 9 hours are critical cutoffs for eLOS. These findings emphasize the benefits of decreasing OT through efficiency models, such as process analysis, team-based intraoperative protocols, and co-surgery model.
