The Anatomy and Clinic Application of Free Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap Xin Wang M.D, Jianwu Qi M.D Ningbo 6th Hospital, P.R.China 8 June 2013
HOW RECONSTRUCT APPROPRIATELY? • Challenging job • Free medial sural artery perforator flap is very suitable • 21 clinic cases in our department
REVIEW • Cavadas :(Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 108:1609-1615, 2001) • Geoffrey G. Hallock: (Annals of Plastic Surgery 52:184-187 2004)
REVIEW • Shao-liang chen: (Trauma 58:323-327, 2005) • Hyo Heon Kim:(Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 117:1609-1618,2006)
ANATOMY STUDY • 6 cadaveric specimens • at least one substantive perforator • Proximal perforator location: 6~12 cm from popliteal crease About 4 cm from posterior midline of the leg
PATIENTS AND METHODS • April 2007 ~ Septemper 2010 • 21 patients , 16 men , 5 women • Age : 16 to 51 years • Recipient site :14 hands , and 7 feet. • Pay attention to the proximal major perforator
Preoperative Design of The Flap • Enormous function of the Doppler ultrasound.
skin Subcutaneous Tissue Deep Fascia Muscular Tissue
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE • Supine or prone position • Exsanguination and tourniquet control. • preserve a superficial vein of the flap. • Detach the flap beneath the deep fascia.
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE Secondary branch of the medial sural artery Superficial vein Perforator
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE • Intramuscular retrograde dissection • Adequate pedicle length and suitable caliber of artery. • the superficial vein • Donor site closed directly or covered with skin graft.
RESULTS • 20 flaps surviving,1 flap partial necrosis • flap size :7.0×4.5cm to 12×8 cm. • 17 flaps with single perforator , 4 flaps with 2 perforators. • superficial vein of 16 flaps were anastomosed
CASE 7 superficial veins of the flap
SPECIAL CASE Direct cutaneous perforator
SUMARY • Little damage to donor site • Suitable for shallow defects • A long vessel pedicle • Can reconstruct sensation
