Abstract: 11.30 Versatility Of The Pedicled Alt Flap In Functional And Sensate Reconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
introduCtion: The pedicled ALT reaches defects from the mid-abdomen to the perineum, and can extend to cover the knee in reverse pedicled ALTs. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) provides sensation to the well-known flap. Based off of the descending branch of the lateral femoral cutaneous artery, multiple skin islands and the vastus lateralis muscle can be combined. We present the safety and reliability of sensate pedicled ALT flaps used to cover defects outside the borders of the thigh.

Versatility of Pedicled Tensor Fascia Lata Flap in Two Different Challenging Anatomical Defects
Background: The tensor fascia lata is a versatile flap with many uses in reconstructive plastic surgery. As a pedicled flap, its reach to the lower abdomen and groinmade it an attractive option for reconstructing soft tissue defects after tumour ablation. We present two cases with challenging anatomical reconstruction after tumour ablation using pedicled TFL flap. A pedicled tensor fascia lata ...
متن کاملVersatility of Anterolateral Thigh Perforator Flap as a Pedicled Flap
The pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap based on septocutanous or musculocutanous perforators of the lateral circumflex femoral system is a reliable flap. The use of ALT flap as a pedicled flap is relatively unpopular if compared with its use as a free flap. The flap can be raised as a fasciocutaneous or muscle flap or myocutaneous flap. The pedicled flap has got a lengthy pedicle with a li...
متن کاملReconstruction of Radiated Gluteal Defects following Sarcoma Resection with Pedicled Sensate Tensor Fascia Lata Flaps
Sarcomas of the gluteal region often result in sizable defects following resection that are challenging to reconstruct due to their location, particularly in patients who have received radiation therapy. Reconstruction of these defects has been seldom discussed in the literature. We present two patients with large radiated gluteal defects following sarcoma resection, of which one patient receiv...

متن کاملVersatility of V-Y Flap in Gluteal Area
BACKGROUND Lesions in perineal area are common. The usual treatment is coverage by skin graft and flaps which may be local, pedicled or free types. In this paper V-Y flaps were used to cover the defects. METHODS V-Y flaps were used in the gluteal area in 15 patients. Lesions were due to different causes. RESULTS Of 15 patients, 11 were males and 4 were females. Their ages ranged from 3...
