Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap: Using the Superficial Venous System to Minimize Flap Congestion

چکیده
813 free perforator flap surgery and always have a second option in mind in case of flap failure. Further, a sufficient understanding of the wound characteristics, donor and recipient vessels, and design for insetting should precede the surgery. Lastly, the skin graft over the muscle flap is less durable than the fasciocutaneous flap and tends to form a callus. To prevent this complication, a perforator-based fasciocutaneous chimeric flap, which enables an independent inset of components, seems to be more ideal.

طراحی جدید از فلپ سورال برای ضایعات مچ و پاشنه
Background: A sural artery flap is a fasciocutaneous one based on the reverse blood flow and the anastomosis between the superficial sural artery and the perforators of peroneal artery. This flap is used in order to reconstruct the soft tissue defects of the distal leg, ankle and heel and also to cover the vessels, tendons and bones. It is possible to cover the defects in size 10*12 cm with thi...
متن کاملSurgical anatomy of the medial sural artery perforator flap.
BACKGROUND The medial sural (medial gastrocnemius) perforator flap is a thin flap with a long pedicle. It has tremendous potential for applications in a variety of soft-tissue defects. We aimed to further clarify the vascular anatomy of the medial sural region and establish a safe approach for elevation of this flap. METHODS Ten fresh cadaveric lower limbs were injected and used in this study...
متن کاملSural Versus Perforator Flaps for Distal Medial Leg Wounds.
Soft tissue coverage of distal medial ankle wounds is a challenging problem in orthopedic surgery because of the limited local tissues and prominent instrumentation. Traditionally, these wounds required free tissue transfer to achieve suitable coverage and subsequent bony union. To better respect the reconstructive ladder and to avoid the inherent difficulty of free flap coverage, rotational fl...

There are numerous perforator flaps reported in the literature for head and neck reconstruction. We are presenting a case report of squamous cell carcinoma of Tongue which was operated by hemi glossectomy, modified radical neck dissection and reconstruction was done with medial sural artery perforator flap (MSAP). Preoperatively handheld Doppler was used to identify the perforator. The size of ...
متن کاملReverse sural flap for ankle and heel soft tissues reconstruction
Introduction: The potential of the medial calf integument, as donor site for a free flap based on musculocutaneous branches of the medial sural artery, was first identified by Taylor and Daniel, following cadaver investigation. In 1981, Pontén described the fasciocutaneous sural flap as a reconstructive option for soft tissue loss of the lower extremity, particularly around the knee. Two years ...
