Circumferential periareolar incision length as a risk factor for skin necrosis after nipple-sparing mastectomy with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction
This study suggests that for patients undergoing NSM with DIEP flap reconstruction, a circumferential periareolar incision length exceeding 30% is associated with an increased risk of skin necrosis in the mastectomy skin flap or NAC. Surgeons should strive to minimize periareolar incision length while ensuring adequate access for flap vascular anastomosis.
