  • FREE TRANSFER OF PREFABRICATED EXPANDED VASCULARIZED SKIN FLAP

    Abstract In order to have more selective sources of skin flaps to repair soft tissue defects, the prefabricated flap combining with skin expander was tried. Implanted the dorsal thoracic artery and vein with a muscle bundle of latissimus dorsi into the lateral thoracic wall subdermally andset a skin expander subcutaneously. Injected saline into the expander to inflate the flap gradually. In a month, an axial flap with the dorsal thoracic vesselswas prepared. the flap was transferred to the defect by vascular anastomosis technique. This method was applied in two cases, one to the left ankle, another to the left side of the neck. The sizes of the two flaps were 20cm×14cmand 22cm×15cm respectively. After operation, the flaps were alive completely. The advantages included selective source of vascular pedicle, thinpliable flap with enough blood supply, and direct closure of the donor site without skin graft.
