[Clinical application of thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps].

Objective: To analyses the clinical application of thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps (TAP).

Methods: We used free or pedicled TAP flaps in 7 patients from Aug 2006 to April 2007, The age ranged from 7 to 42 years old, the perforator arteries was detected and labeled with a hand held Doppler flowmeter, the size of flaps ranged from 6 cm x 9 cm - 12 cm x 16 cm, the flaps designed with perforator artery included, all the flaps are based on the first perforator artery.

Results: All the flaps survived well, no complication occurred with lowest donor site morbidity.
