Versatility 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 کاملComparison of Posteromedial Thigh Profunda Artery Perforator Flap and Anterolateral Thigh Perforator Flap for Head and Neck Reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The anterolateral thigh perforator flap is a common workhorse flap for head and neck reconstruction. The authors present an alternative method using the posteromedial thigh profunda artery perforator flap and compare its characteristics, outcomes, donor-site morbidity, and donor-site cosmesis with those of the anterolateral thigh perforator flap. METHODS Between May of 2013 and Jul...
متن کاملUse of the Anterolateral Thigh and Vertical Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flaps as Utility Flaps in Reconstructing Large Groin Defects
BACKGROUND Groin dissections result in large wounds with exposed femoral vessels requiring soft tissue coverage, and the reconstructive options are diverse. In this study we reviewed our experience with the use of the pedicled anterolateral thigh and vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps in the reconstruction of large groin wounds. METHODS Groin reconstructions performed over a per...
متن کاملLower Extremity Reconstruction Using Vastus Lateralis Myocutaneous Flap versus Anterolateral Thigh Fasciocutaneous Flap
BACKGROUND The anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap has become a popular option for treating soft tissue defects of lower extremity reconstruction and can be combined with a segment of the vastus lateralis muscle. We present a comparison of the use of the ALT fasciocutaneous (ALT-FC) and myocutaneous flaps. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients in whom free-tissue transfer was per...
متن کاملSingle perforator based anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of large composite defects of oral cavity.
Composite defects of oral cavity are a reconstructive challenge. Anterolateral thigh flap provides large and pliable tissue for reconstruction of these defects. However, wide variations in the vascular anatomy, variable perforator number and location are reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of single perforator based large anterolateral thigh for reconstruction of com...
