The Anterolateral Thigh Perforator Flap in an Innovative Microsurgery Training Method.

The road to becoming a good and confident microsurgeon requires love for your work, patience, and good training facilities. Safe and effective training procedures for young microsurgeons during their plastic surgery residency are necessary and should be applied under standardized conditions. We present an innovative microsurgical training method for plastic surgery residents in the operation theater concerning the anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALT).

Perineal Reconstruction with a Diamond-shaped Perforator Flap: A Case Report.

Reconstruction of perineal defects is a challenging procedure. Various surgical techniques have been proposed. Compared with traditional myocutaneous flaps, pedicled perforator flaps are believed to be a less invasive option for perineal reconstruction, with better functional and cosmetic results.

Gastrocnemius muscle flap of both heads on a single vascular pedicle.

We present a case of a muscle flap of both heads of gastrocnemius on a single vascular pedicle for reconstruction of a tibial defect. The flap was based on the medial sural vessels alone. The vascular supply to the lateral head was achieved through the anastomotic vessels along the gastrocnemial raphe.
