Background: Multi-lobed perforator flap was one of popular approaches for one-stage reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects because of its minimal donor-site morbidity. However, the area of skin island that can be harvested on the donor site is limited on the angiosome distribution, Moreover, large defects require more than the conventional skin island provided by a traditional multi-lobed perforator flap. For further extended skin paddles, this study presented a novel design of waveform-arranged skin paddles to elevated a modified multi-lobed perforator flap for the reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects in the extremities.

Methods: From March of 2015 to March of 2020, fifteen patients underwent complex soft tissue defects reconstruction with waveform-arranged multi-lobed perforator flaps. According the size, shape and localization of the defects, two strategies were performed to design this modified multi-lobed flap.

Results: A total of fifteen waveform-arranged multi-lobed perforator flaps were successfully harvested to reconstruct complex soft tissue defects of the extremities. Among of them, Waveform-arranged dual skin paddles perforator flap were performed in eleven cases, and the waveform-arranged tripaddle perforator flaps were used in four cases. All the flaps survived and no flap related complication was observed postoperatively. The donor sites were closed directly in all cases. The mean follow-up time was 15.6 months. Most of the cases showed satisfactory contour.

Conclusion: The waveform design of multi-lobed perforator flap was an alternative approach for reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects; it can maximize the harvested skin area of the donor site to provide extended skin island.

Comparison Between Modified Lateral Arm Free Flap and Traditional Lateral Arm Free Flap for the Reconstruction of Oral and Maxillofacial Soft Tissue Defects.

Authors:
Wei-Ming Wang Lu Sun Si-Si Yang Shu-Jun Hu Yi-Jie Zuo An-Jie Min

Front Oncol 2022 26;12:877799. Epub 2022 May 26.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Center of Stomatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

Objective: The traditional lateral arm free flap (tLAFF) has the disadvantages of short vascular pedicle, small vascular diameter, and non-perforator flap. We used a new method to prepare modified LAFF (mLAFF) and evaluate its application value in the repair of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects.

Methods: The anatomical features of the flap were recorded and compared between the tLAFF group and the mLAFF group. Read More

Background: Complex soft-tissue defects of upper extremities still have a high rate of amputation, as the reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects is always difficult even with the largest conventional free flap. The anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap is one of the most popular procedures used for the coverage of complex soft-tissue defects of extremities. However, problems associated with donor-site morbidity and inability to repair complex soft-tissue defects in a one-stage procedure persist. Read More

Department of Hand & Microsurgery, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University , Changsha , China.

The anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) chimeric flap is one of the most popular procedures for the reconstruction of three-dimensional defects in the extremities. However, the problems of donor-site morbidity and inability to repair very large defects in a one-stage procedure remain. The purpose of this study was to present a novel design of ALTP chimeric flap and its various designs for customized reconstruction of complex three-dimensional defects in the extremities. Read More

Introduction: The use of multiple small flaps linked in a "chain-linked" flap microanastomosed chimeric system is recommended in distal hand and digital defects reconstruction. The aim of this study is to demonstrates our experience utilizing microsurgical fabrication, multi-lobed and linking combined flaps for the reconstruction of hand degloving injuries with complex multidigit soft tissue defects.

Methods: Microanastomosed chimeric flap systems using ALT and DPA modified designed flaps were combined in five selections to cover extensive soft tissue defects involving the hands and multiple digits of 39 patients (M:F - 36:3) from October 2009 to February 2013. Read More
