Case report. A double thoracodorsal artery perforator flap technique for the treatment of pectus excavatum.

Background: Pectus excavatum is a common congenital deformity involving the anterior thoracic wall. It can be treated with several surgical approaches.

Material And Methods: To our best of knowledge, this is the first case of pectus excavatum repair via a 2-stage double thoracodorsal artery perforator flap procedure in a 37-year-old patient.

Double L-shaped free-style perforator flap for perineal and vaginal reconstruction after cylindrical abdominoperineal resection.

The improvement of patient carcinological status by an abdominoperineal resection by extended posterior perineal approach in a prone position requires the plastic surgeon to consider other reconstructive options. We present an original double L-shaped free-style propeller flap used to reconstruct the vagina and the perineum of a 57-year-old patient after the resection of a T4 tumour of the lower rectum.

Anatomical background of the perforator flap based on the deep branch of the superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIP Flap): a cadaveric study.

Background: The groin flap, based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery, was the first successful free flap. However, its popularity was lost essentially due to variable arterial anatomy. Clinical applications of perforator flap based on superficial circumflex iliac artery suggest that a dominant perforator based on his deep branch is enough to supply a large groin flap.
