Perineal Electric Burn Reconstruction Using Modified Thoraco-Umbilical Flap
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perineal reconstruction is an essential component of the overall treatment plan of perineal electric burn, but it is a very difficult and complex job. The modified thoraco-umbilical flap may be a perfect way of repairing perineal area. It is based on the deep inferior epigastric artery and vein and the superior epigastric artery and vein, which look like the “reverse TRAM flap”. The large flap could be fashioned into a perfect perineal area without the need for free flap. It left a satisfactory donor scar, and it avoided the need to change the patient’s position during the operation. Four cases were reconstructed by modified thoraco-umbilical flap after perineal electric burn, and all of them were satisfied with the results. The modified thoraco-umbilical flap has been emerged as a very useful reconstructive tool and is particularly valuable in reconstruction of the perineal electric burn.

متن کاملSuccessful Reconstruction of Congenital Perineal Skin Defect Using Gluteal-Fold Bilobed Perforator Flap
Perineovaginorectal defect usually requires surgical repair; however, direct closure often leads to dehiscence. We present two patients with a congenital perineal skin defect who were successfully treated using a gluteal-fold bilobed perforator flap. This flap facilitates esthetic restoration and a more natural perineovaginorectal appearance, using only a one-stage procedure. This technique may...

Hypothesis / aims of study Urogenital reconstructive techniques include perineal reconstruction, vaginoplasty, urethral reconstruction, and vesico-vaginal (VVF) and recto-vaginal fistula (RVF) repair. Many of these procedures require the use of local or distant flaps for reconstruction, of which the pudendal thigh fasciocutaneous perforator (PTF) flap is an option. We frequently use this flap f...

ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...
