The free thin thoracodorsal artery perforator flap with cervicoplasty provides good functional and aesthetic results in terms of neck contour and cervicomental angle, with a reduced necessity for secondary procedures and low donor-site morbidity. This method is highly valuable for reconstruction of severe postburn neck contractures.
The topographic results could be used as a reference in the perforator localization for safe and efficient harvesting of the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
