A novel technique of preserving internal mammary artery perforators in nipple sparing breast reconstruction. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • As nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction has increased, attention must be paid to the viability of the nipple-areolar complex. This article describes the use of preoperative Doppler ultrasound to identify the internal mammary artery perforators. Preserving the internal mammary artery improves vascular supply to the nipple-areolar complex.
