Abstract: Freestyle Propeller Flap Closure of Traumatic Injury Defect

چکیده
INTROdUCTION: The concept of freestyle propeller flaps provides a versatile opportunity for wound closure at any part of the body with minimal donor site morbidity. As experience and familiarity with microsurgical procedures has increased interest in identifying-harvesting perforator flaps originating from known major vessels has become more common. The “freestyle” concept developed by Wei and Mardini expanded reconstructive options and concept using propeller flap. Technique is based on dissecting flaps in retrograde fashion toward the perforator in the vicinity of the defect.

InTRODUcTIOn: Covering a large defect with minimal donor site morbidity is a challenging task in reconstructive surgery. Recent advances in perforator flaps provides further alternatives. The research for angiosome or perforasome distinguishes the maximum size of each flap. The maximum size with direct donor site closure is determined by its position and has individual variation. The size of fl...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to review the results of a cohort of patients based on our experience with a new technique for total lower eyelid reconstruction after a large defect caused by malignant tumor and trauma. A scapha cartilage graft with small skin on a vascularized propeller flap was used for 16 cases requiring lower eyelid reconstruction. METHODS Patients were identified fr...

Background A skin defect of the hand and wrist is a common manifestation in industrial crushing injuries, traffic accidents or after excision of tumors. We reconstructed a skin defect in the ulnar aspect of the hand and wrist with a perforator-based propeller flap from the ulnar artery. The aims of our study are to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of this flap and to discuss the advantage...

VOL. 52 NO. 4 NOVEMBER 2014 SAJS 105 Plastic surgeons are frequently cal led upon to provide definitive softtissue coverage for lower l imb defects associated with compound fractures of the tibia or fibula (Gustillo-Anderson IIIB). Usually defects of the upper and middle thirds of the leg are easily managed with either gastrocnemius myocutaneous flaps or hemi-soleus muscle coverage and skin gra...
