“…Koshima et al used the flap intraorally for reconstruction after tumor ablation. 14,15,19 Additionally, they combined 2 the AMT flap with a vascularized iliac bone graft in a few selected cases. Ao et al reported its use for reconstruction in the lower extremity.…”

The anteromedial thigh (AMT) flap is reviewed in terms of its vascular anatomy and previous clinical reports in the literature. Our own series of 5 patients treated with this flap for defects in the head and neck region and lower extremity is presented. Although several authors controversially discussed vasculature, we constantly found the pedicle as an emerging septocutaneous perforator at a point where the medial border of the rectus femoris muscle is crossed by the sartorius muscle. In all 5 patients, the AMT flap provided stable coverage with no flap loss. Based on our findings, we conclude that the anteromedial thigh flap offers all the advantages of fasciocutaneous flaps. Therefore, we recommend this flap as an alternative for defects requiring coverages of thin to moderate skin thickness. However, it should be remembered that variations in vascular anatomy are possible.

“…These flaps have been especially preferred to repair benign or malignant scrotal and vulva-vaginal tumour excision or radiotherapy related defects, trauma scar contractures of thigh, lower leg and foot defects, urethral reconstructions in epispadias and hypospadias, local and extensive defects of the head and the neck region [6,9,10,14,17,31].

“…Anteromedial fasciocutaneous flaps from the thigh region based on the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) are important for repairing the defects of wide inguinal scars, the soft tissue defects following foot injury, after benign or extensive malignant tumour ablation of head and neck region, lower abdomen, leg, major scrotal defects, post-burn contractures in the body [1,10,12,19,31].…”

“…Depending on defect size, location and design, in some cases of penetrating defects of the anterior part of the lower face, a combination of two or more flaps is required 5 . In cases of reconstruction of the floor of the mouth and anterior tongue, the mandible or osseous chin, and the softtissue components of the chin and lips, these double or triple flaps are sometimes used to achieve the best possible function and aesthetics in a region which is difficult to reconstruct 4,5 .…”

A difficult vascular situation for flap anastomoses is often seen if previous radical neck surgery has been performed.…”
