A Modified Total Thigh Flap in the Reconstruction of Decubitus Ulcer
A total thigh flap may be another treatment option that surgeons may consider when they cannot achieve a coverage of the defect using other treatment modalities in patients with extensive decubitus ulcer concurrently with complications. It has a sufficient vascular supply and is therefore advantageous in providing a sufficient thickness, thus possibly minimizing the recurrence of decubitus ulce...
متن کاملRECONSTRUCTION OF PENILE SKIN DEFECT BY CUTANEOUS FLAP FROM THE INNER ASPECT OF THE THIGH
Two patients with penile skin loss who were operated in 1991 are reviewed retrospectively. In both of them skin grafting was mandatory (due to large skin defects on the penile shaft). Causative factors were localized infection in one case and verrucae accuminata in another. In both cases a random flap from the skin of the inner surface of the thigh was applied. The pedicle flap was later t...
متن کاملUsefulness of Simple-Designed Bilobed Flap for Reconstruction of Ischial Decubitus Ulcer
The pressure ulcer of the ischial region is often accompanied by complete paraplegia in patients with spinal cord injury and is attributable to the compression and breakdown of tissue arising from constant sitting. Characteristically, a pressure ulcer of this region is circular and deep. We recently reconstructed ischial decubitus ulcer of 8 patients using simple-designed bilobed flap. In all c...
متن کاملAnterolateral thigh adipofascial flap in mucosal reconstruction.
IMPORTANCE This study describes a reliable technique for mucosal reconstruction of large defects using components of a common free flap technique. OBJECTIVE To review the harvest technique and the varied scenarios in which the anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap (ALTAF) can be used for mucosal restoration in oral cavity and nasal reconstruction. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrosp...
متن کاملReinnervated anterolateral thigh flap for tongue reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Total or near-total glossectomy defects are commonly reconstructed with rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps for coverage. Sensory reinnervation has rarely been performed. METHODS Thirteen consecutive total or near-total glossectomy reconstructions were performed in a 12-month period with anterolateral thigh flaps with (n = 8) or without (n = 5) sensory reinnervation to the lingual ...
