Reconstruction of Moderate-Sized Distal Limb Defects using a Superthin Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap

摘要

Background When using groin flaps the scars can be easily covered. However, disadvantages including short pedicle lengths, anatomical variations in the vessels, and flap bulkiness, have prevented their widespread use. We examined the use of superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) free flaps to moderate-sized defects in the distal extremities.
