Extended V-Y Advancement Flap Reconstruction of a Large Posterior Upper Midline Trunk Defect
Large posterior upper trunk defects can be challenging to reconstruct. Trapezius or latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps are principally utilized for reconstruction; however, some defects may not be amenable to this standard approach. Here, we describe a patient with a full-thickness skin and subcutaneous tissue loss of the upper back and inferior cervical region after dermatofibrosarcoma protub...
متن کاملThe Trapezius Muscle Flap: A Viable Alternative for Posterior Scalp and Neck Reconstruction
BACKGROUND The trapezius muscle flap is not usually the first reconstructive option for skin and soft tissue defects in the posterior neck and scalp due to surgeons' unfamiliarity with the surgical anatomy and developments in free tissue transfer techniques. The goals of this study were to describe the clinical use of trapezius flaps in posterior neck and scalp reconstruction, and to investigat...

We describe the application of local anesthesia with intravenous sedation for covering a large defect of the upper back with the use of the island vertical trapezius myocutaneous flap to an 85-year-old male. According to the anesthesiologist, the patient was graded as ASA IV. A 200-ml solution which consisted of 0.75 mg xylocaine, 2 mg adrenaline (1/2,000,000) and 10 mmol/l sodium bicarbonate i...
متن کاملReconstruction of Chronic Complicated Scalp and Dural Defects Using Acellular Human Dermis and Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Free flap
We present reconstruction of a complicated scalp-dura defect using acellular human dermis and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap. A 62-year-old female had previously undergone decompressive craniectomy for intracranial hemorrhage. The cranial bone flap was cryopreserved and restored to the original location subsequently, but necessitated removal for a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcal i...
متن کاملExtended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap versus pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for reconstruction in recurrent oral and oropharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the use of an extended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap (TIMF) and a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF). METHODS A total of 39 patients with advanced recurrent oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) underwent salvage surgery followed by placement of either an extended lower vertical TIMF or PMMF for reco...
