OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe the elements critical to successful middle temporal artery periosteal rotational flap harvest and utilization based on the anatomic features of the middle temporal artery. STUDY DESIGN Description of anatomy based on cadaver dissection. METHODS Seventy temporal fossa dissections were performed on 35 adult human cadavers. RESULTS Sixty-nine of 70 dissectio...

Sarday, M ay 6, 2017 moyamoya disease (6). Flaps included flow through radial forearm fasciocutaneous flaps (2), a flow through radial forearm fascial flap (1) and flow through pedicled temporoparietal fascial flaps (4). The superficial temporal vessels (6) and facial vessels (1) were used as the recipient site pedicle. Flow through reperfusion was established into the middle cerebral artery (5...

Free osteocutaneous fibular grafts, revascularised by microvascular anastomoses, have been used for one-stage reconstruction of extensive bone and skin loss in the lower leg in seven patients. The addition of an integral skin flap to a vascularised fibular graft makes reconstruction of bone defects with significant skin loss possible, and the technique for designing and raising such a flap is p...

There are numerous perforator flaps reported in the literature for head and neck reconstruction. We are presenting a case report of squamous cell carcinoma of Tongue which was operated by hemi glossectomy, modified radical neck dissection and reconstruction was done with medial sural artery perforator flap (MSAP). Preoperatively handheld Doppler was used to identify the perforator. The size of ...

The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap is an option for women desiring autologous tissue breast reconstruction. If this reconstruction fails, other autologous tissue flaps, including the gluteal artery perforator and latissimus dorsi flaps, may be used for salvage. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap offers adequate tissue volume for breast reconstruction, acceptable fat quality and...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, surgeons have used an expanded endonasal surgical approach (EENS) to access skull base lesions not previously accessible by minimally invasive techniques. Reconstruction of the large skull base defects created during EENS is necessary to prevent postoperative CSF leaks. A vascular pedicle nasoseptal mucoperiosteal flap based on the nasoseptal artery, (Hadad-Bass...

BACKGROUND To compare free thin anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with free radial forearm (FRF) flap in the reconstruction of hemiglossectomy defects, and to introduce our methods and experience in the tongue reconstruction with free thin ALT flap. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinicopathologic data of 46 tongue carcinoma cases hospitalized from December 2009 to April 2014 were obtained from Nangji...
