The pedicle of the anterolateral thigh flap is formed by the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. Recently, an oblique branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery was described by Wei et al., which can also be used as an alternative to the descending branch. We describe a case in which both the pedicles were used to create two free flaps (twin flaps) from the same thigh for post tumour reconstruction of breast.
股前外侧皮瓣的蒂由旋股外侧动脉降支形成。最近,Wei等人描述了旋股外侧动脉的一个斜支,它也可作为降支的替代选择。我们报道了一例使用两条蒂从同一大腿制备两个游离皮瓣(双皮瓣)用于乳腺癌术后重建的病例。
