Feasibility and Safety of Single-Port Robotic-Assisted Deep Inferior Epigastric Pedicle Flap Harvest
Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of single-port robotic surgery for DIEP flap breast reconstruction. The investigators will also investigate complications of the procedure, incision length, flap success rate, post operative pain, vascular pedicle length and caliber, and VMP-B score (quality of life/satisfaction of breast procedures survey).
