Abstract

Securing The Vascular Pedicle Via a Fasciocutaneous Flap in a Cross-leg Free Latissimus Dorsi Flap Cross-leg free flap procedure is rarely applied in extensive lower extremity defects involving major arteries or when ipsilateral vein grafts are risky. In this report cross-leg free flap is applied in an electrically injured lower extremity. An extensive defect exposing the joint and bones, of the left foot and leg was initially reconstructed with an ipsilateral latissimus dorsi free flap. In postoperative 4th day the arterial anastomosis was re-explored because of arterial insufficiency and a thrombus was detected and reanastomoses were performed using a vein graft. Unfortunately in 5'1' postoperative day flap was lost because of arterial thrombus. In postoperative 30"' day contralateral latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was elevated and artery and vein anastomosed to the contralateral tibialis posterior and vena comitantes and flap adapted to the defect. In this session a contralateral proximally based 15x 5 cm fasciocutaneous flap was elevated from the medial malleolus and the anastomoses and the vascular pedicle were covered and secured. It also permitted extra mobility of the flap. Cross-leg free flaps are salvage operations where there is no ipsilateral recipient vessels. In planning the flap a contralateral proximally based fasciocutaneous flap may be helpful in covering and securing the anastomoses and giving extra mobility to the flap.

Özet

Cross-leg serbest flep, ekstansif defektli taraf alt extremitede uygun alıcı damarın olmadığı ve ven greftlerinin riskli olduğu olgularda karşı taraf damarlarının alıcı olarak kullanıldığı bir yöntemdir. Bu sunumumuzda, elektrik yanıklı bir olguda alt ekstremitenin k u r t a r ı l m a s ı için cross-leg serbest flep prosedürü uygulanmıştır. Sol ayak bileği ve bacakta, kemiği ve eklemi açıkta bırakan doku defekti ilk aşamada, ipsilateral latissimus dorsi kas-deri flebi ile rekonstrükte edildi. Postoperatif 4. günde arteryel yetmezlik gelişen flep revizyona alındığında arteryel trombus saptandı ve arter kısaltılıp araya ven grefti konuldu , fakat 5. günde tekrar trombüs gelişmesi üzerine flep kaybedildi. Postoperatif 30. günde diğer taraf latissimus dorsi kas-deri flebi, arteriyel ve venöz anastomozlar karşı taraf bacağın tibialis posterior ve vena comitantesine olacak şekilde serbest olarak defekte adapte edildi.Bu seansta sağ ayak bileği medial malleol bölgesinden kaldırılan proksimal bazlı 15x5 cm lik bir fasyokütan flep, anastomoz hattını korumak ve flebin m o b i l i t e s i n i arttırmak üzere pedikülün üzerine örtüldü. Operasyondan 5 hafta sonra, neovaskülarizasyon gelişimini takiben pedikül ayrılarak rekonstrüksiyon tamamlandı. Cross-leg flepler defekt alanında sağlıklı alıcı vasküler yapının olmadığı durumlarda, alt ekstremitenin kurtarılmasında en son çare olarak düşünülebilir. Flebin planlanmasında, donör sahadan eleve edilecek fasyokütan bir flep, pedikülün örtülmesi v e flebe daha fazla mobilite kazandırmak amacıyla kullanılabilir
