A CLINICAL STUDY OF THORACODORSAL ARTERY PERFORATOR BASED PROPELLER FLAPS IN RECONSTRUCTION OF TRUNK DEFECTS
Abstract
Thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is a
relatively new flap in the armamentarium
of the plastic surgeon. It has been used
in the reconstruction of axilla, breast and
back. The aim of this study was to study
the feasibility of utilising thoracodorsal
artery cutaneous, musculocutaneous and
septocutaneous perforators as a basis
for propeller flaps for covering v.arious
defects in the trunk.
