Reverse Homodigital Dorsal Radial Flap of the Thumb.

2006

BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of extensive distal defects of the thumb with exposure of bone, tendon, or joint can be a difficult problem because immediate closure is of paramount importance for preserving function and avoiding complications. Surgical treatment includes the use of local, reverse flow, and free flaps. The authors describe a new reverse homodigital flap to repair distal defects of the thumb. This flap is raised from the dorsal radial side of the first metacarpal area. It is pedicled on the dorsal radial collateral artery, which is constant for course, caliber, and communication with the palmar circuit. METHODS: The flap is raised by means of distal to proximal dissection, the sk…

Innervated Island Flaps in Morphofunctional Vulvar Reconstruction

2000

In this article, the authors present their own experience in vulvar reconstruction following vulvectomy using two different innervated island flaps according to the size and site of the defect. Island-flap mobilization is possible thanks to the rich blood supply of the perineal region. The methods described are a "V-Y amplified sliding flap from the pubis" and a "fasciocutaneous island flap" raised from one or both gluteal folds. The V-Y amplified sliding flap from the pubis is indicated when the defect is symmetric and located anteriorly. This flap is harvested from the pubis and vascularized by the deep arterial network of the pubis. Sensory innervation is provided by branches of the ileo…

Retroauricular skin: a flaps bank for ear reconstruction.

2006

Retroauricular skin: a flaps bank for ear reconstruction. Cordova A, D'Arpa S, Pirrello R, Giambona C, Moschella F. Source Cattedra di Chirurgia Plastica e Ricostruttiva, Dipartimento di Discipline Chirurgiche ed Oncologiche, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Via del Vespro 129, 90127 - Palermo, Italy. adriana.cordova@excite.com Abstract BACKGROUND: The retroauricular skin has always been given much attention by the reconstructive surgeon for ear and face reconstruction because it is richly vascularised, as many anatomical investigations show, it is hidden behind the ear, its skin is very similar to that of ear and face. All these reasons make it an ideal donor site for ear reconstruction.…
