Anesthetic Management of DIEP and SIEA Flap Reconstruction: Optimizing Perfusion and Multimodal Analgesia Within an ERAS Framework

Bryan Kerner, DO
Yale School of Medicine 

Date: May 3, 2026
4:00 - 5:00 PM Eastern Time

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the anesthetic considerations unique to DIEP and SIEA flap reconstruction, including hemodynamic targets and spasmolysis strategies critical to free-flap perfusion and viability.
  2. Apply ERAS principles across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of microsurgical breast reconstruction to implement a multimodal, opioid-sparing analgesic strategy.

  3. Select and implement optimal regional anesthesia techniques for dual-site analgesia (chest wall and abdominal donor site), including ESP, TAP, and QL blocks, and the use of adjuvants to extend block duration.
