dc.description.abstract | The anterolateral thigh free flap is one of the most preferred options for reconstructing soft tissues of the extremities and vascular anastomosis is one of the most important factors for flaps survival. T-anastomosis and double venous anastomosis have been widely used for increasing flap survival. This report shows both application of T-shape pedicle and multiple venous anastomosis to each 43 cases for extremity reconstruction that have not been described so far in the literature and it showed the necessity of multiple anastomosis. The locations of the lesions were 8 upper extremities (4 hands, 3 forearms, and 1 upper arm) and 35 lower extremities (5 forefeet, 6 dorsal feet, 4 plantar feet, 11 ankles, and 9 lower legs). We applied T-shaped arterial pedicle to limited anatomical area that had 2 or more major arterial communication sites to overcome the obstruction by reverse flow from communication vessels when 1 of the 2 anastomosis was obstructed. We classified multiple venous anastomosis according to flow direction and the vascular connections between the superficial and deep veins. In result, 37 cases survived completely but 2 flaps developed severe necrosis (>50%) because of infection and hematoma and 4 flaps developed partial necrosis due to wound infection. In conclusion, T-shaped pedicle and multiple venous anastomosis is a method to improve free flap survival and useful in cases where sacrificing a dominant vessel is inevitable or those in which only 1 vessel remains. | - |
