Free Flaps for Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction

2020

Reconstruction of full-thickness chest wall defects usually entails the use of regional pedicled myocutaneous flaps as first-choice option. As defect complexity increases and local options are not available, microsurgical reconstruction is required to transfer reliable and well-vascularized tissues from distant sites. Size, anatomic location, presence of dead spaces, and extent of eventual bone defect should be assessed for proper selection of the flap. Regional recipient vessels should be previously identified and checked in order to consider alternatively the need of extension of distant recipient vessels through arteriovenous (AV) loops or vein graft interposition.

Pedicled Flaps for Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction

2020

However, perforator flaps have recently affirmed even for reconstruction of complex defects. A thorough knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the thorax and of the patient’s medical history is essential for selecting the best reconstructive option. The defect location, size, and depth as well as previous surgeries in the same area are the main issues affecting the reconstructive choices.
