Comparative Results Of Frenectomy By Three Surgical Techniques- Conventional, Unilateral Displaced Pedicle Flap And Bilateral Displaced Pedicle Flap

Paramedian Forehead Flap Raised in the Base of Previously Used Median Forehead Flap Pedicle

Alternative techniques for pedicle transfer of an island flap and a free flap.

Alternative techniques for pedicle transfer of a reverse radial forearm flap for hand coverage, and a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap for pelvic wound coverage, are illustrated. Exteriorization of the vascular pedicle of a reverse radial forearm flap allows a greater arc of movement of the flap for more distal coverage, and avoids the potential vascular compromise of tunnelling under a ...

Accidental latissimus dorsi flap pedicle avulsion during immediate breast reconstruction: salvage by conversion to free flap.

Pedicle damage is a rare complication of latissimus dorsi (LD) flap breast reconstruction. We report a case of accidental avulsion of the vascular pedicle of a totally autologous (extended) LD flap during immediate breast reconstruction in a patient who had previously undergone contralateral breast reconstruction with a pedicled TRAM flap based on the opposite superior epigastric vessels. The i...

Subcutaneous pedicle propeller flap: An old technique revisited and modified!

BACKGROUND Post-burn axillary and elbow scar contracture is a challenging problem to the reconstructive surgeon owing to the wide range of abduction and extension that should be achieved, respectively, while treating either of the joint. The aim of this paper is to highlight the use of subcutaneous pedicle propeller flap for the management of post-burn axillary and elbow contractures. METHODO...

The MR imaging appearance of the vascular pedicle nasoseptal flap.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, surgeons have used an expanded endonasal surgical approach (EENS) to access skull base lesions not previously accessible by minimally invasive techniques. Reconstruction of the large skull base defects created during EENS is necessary to prevent postoperative CSF leaks. A vascular pedicle nasoseptal mucoperiosteal flap based on the nasoseptal artery, (Hadad-Bass...
