Primary closure of a large anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap donor site defect with the assistance of an external tissue expansion system is presented. The dimensions of this donor site (12 cm × 40 cm) and its percentage of leg circumference (34%) would make this site likely to require skin grafting or further flap coverage based on the results of previously published literature.
本文介绍了在外部组织扩张系统的辅助下对大腿前外侧(ALT)皮瓣供区大缺损进行一期缝合。根据先前发表的文献结果,该供区的尺寸(12厘米×40厘米)及其占腿周长的百分比(34%)可能使该部位需要植皮或进一步的皮瓣覆盖。
