Surgical anatomy of the medial sural artery perforator flap.
BACKGROUND The medial sural (medial gastrocnemius) perforator flap is a thin flap with a long pedicle. It has tremendous potential for applications in a variety of soft-tissue defects. We aimed to further clarify the vascular anatomy of the medial sural region and establish a safe approach for elevation of this flap. METHODS Ten fresh cadaveric lower limbs were injected and used in this study...
متن کاملMedial Sural Artery Perforator Flap: Using the Superficial Venous System to Minimize Flap Congestion
813 free perforator flap surgery and always have a second option in mind in case of flap failure. Further, a sufficient understanding of the wound characteristics, donor and recipient vessels, and design for insetting should precede the surgery. Lastly, the skin graft over the muscle flap is less durable than the fasciocutaneous flap and tends to form a callus. To prevent this complication, a p...
متن کاملTounge Reconstruction with Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap: A Case Report
There are numerous perforator flaps reported in the literature for head and neck reconstruction. We are presenting a case report of squamous cell carcinoma of Tongue which was operated by hemi glossectomy, modified radical neck dissection and reconstruction was done with medial sural artery perforator flap (MSAP). Preoperatively handheld Doppler was used to identify the perforator. The size of ...
متن کاملVersatility of the Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap: Experience with 200 Consecutive Cases.
Introduction The medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap was first described in 2001. Having constant anatomy, long pedicle, and pliable soft tissue, the flap was shown to be a good alternative option for soft tissue reconstruction. The aim of this study was to report our experience with this flap for reconstruction throughout the body, highlighting its potentially increasing role as a workh...
متن کاملMedial sural artery perforator free flap: legitimate use as a solution for the ipsilateral distal lower extremity defect.
The medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap captures the cutaneous territory of the medial calf, and can potentially be advantageous as a thin free flap, even in the most obese individual, for coverage of most foot and/or ankle defects where bulk is a liability. The anatomy is fairly constant, as usually at least one reasonably large perforator can always be found emanating from the medial h...
