Abstract

Complicated hand and wrist defects require durable and pliable tissues which are offered by flaps, instead of skin grafts. Various dorsoulnar flap options have been used in the regional flap armamentarium of the upper limb. Poor venous drainage may be a considerable handicap when moderate to large skin paddle dorsoulnar flaps are used. In the present case, we aimed to reduce the risk of necrosis by supercharging the dorsoulnar island flap. The current literature regarding dorsoulnar island flap has also been reviewed withfocuson this flap. This technique has success fully been used for a complex wrist defect in a 48-year-old man. Postoperative follow up was one year. The flap survived completely with perfect hand function. We think this modification can prevent possible venous stress in the pedicled and free dorsoulnar flaps by obtaining extravenous drainage. The method is simple, does not need sophisticated microsurgical procedure and longer operative time.

Özet

El ve el bileğinin karmaşık defektleri cilt greftlerinden ziyade Heplerin sunduğu dayanıklı ve esnek dokulara ihtiyaç gösterirler. Üst ekstremitenin bölgesel Hepleri içinde muhtelif dorsoulnar flep seçenekleri kullanılmıştır. Orta ve geniş cilt adalı dorsoulnar flep kullanıldığında bozuk venöz drenaj önemli bir handikap olabilir. Biz söz konusu olguda dorsoulnar ada flebini süperşarj ederek nekroz riskini azaltmayı amaçladık. Bu flep üzerine odaklanarak aynı zamanda dorsoulnar ada flebiyle ilgili güncel literatür de gözden geçirilmiştir. Bu teknik 48 yaşındaki erkek hastadaki karmaşık bir elbileği defekti için başarıyla kullanılmıştır. Ameliyat sonrası izlem 1 yıldı. Flep tam olarak yaşadı, el fonksiyonları mükemmeldi. Biz bu modifikasyonun ekstra venöz drenaj sağlayarak pediküllü ve serbest dorsoulnar Heplerde olası bir venöz stresi önleyebileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
