Erratum to comparative study of software techniques for 3D mapping of perforators in deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap planning

In the April 2016 issue of Gland Surgery, the original article “Comparative study of software techniques for 3D mapping of perforators in deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap planning” (1) was published with some errors.

Some data in the tables with the titles “Comparing the mean transverse distance of DIEA perforators from the midline calculated using Siemens Syngo InSpace 4D (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) to the intraoperative measurements” and “Comparing the mean transverse distance of DIEA perforators from the midline calculated using Osirix (Pixmeo, Geneva, Switzerland) to the intraoperative measurements” of that article are incorrect, and should be corrected as follow (Tables 3,4).

Table 3. Comparing the mean transverse distance of DIEA perforators from the midline calculated using Siemens Syngo InSpace 4D (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) to the intraoperative measurements.

	Siemens Syngo InSpace 4D	Operative findings	Difference	P value
Perforator location, lateral-to-midline (mean)	3.36 cm	3.43 cm	0.07 cm	<0.01

Table 4. Comparing the mean transverse distance of DIEA perforators from the midline calculated using Osirix (Pixmeo, Geneva, Switzerland) to the intraoperative measurements.

	Osirix	Operative findings	Difference	P value
Perforator location, lateral-to-midline (mean)	3.36 cm	3.43 cm	0.07 cm	<0.01

The authors regret the errors.
