Coverage of a Lateral Arm Defect with a Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap. A Case Report
Keywords:
Surgical flaps, reconstructive surgical procedures, plastic surgery, neoplasmAbstract
Reconstructive plastic surgery continues to achieve a number of outstanding results aimed at greater functionality with reduced donor area morbidity. The literature of anatomical studies provides multiple descriptions on the uses of perforator flaps, which are currently one of the fundamental options available to reconstructive surgeons. In this report, we describe the case in which a lateral arm defect was successfully reconstructed following resection of a neoplastic lesion by using a thoracodorsal artery perforator flap
