Methods: Detailed research was conducted in the PubMed medical database, using the terms "Appendix" AND "Anatomical variations", and 74 articles were initially revealed. After the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, all the non-related articles were excluded, and thus 40 articles were finally selected.
This systematic review examines the impact of anatomical variations in the medial circumflex artery (MCA) on the outcomes of gracilis flap procedures in reconstructive surgery. Incorporating 16 studies, this review analyzes how different MCA variants influence the success rates of these procedures. Findings highlight critical MCA variations, including cases of split and double pedicles and differences in pedicle length and branching patterns, which can complicate flap harvesting and vascular anastomosis.
