“…Small number of such ''rescue'' cases has been recently reported. 10,11 Shaw et al 12 also found that, by exploring the medial thigh, ''suitable vessels'' were found in 23 (79%) of 29 cases. In the present study, the authors hypothesized that such a balanced relationship may exist between the vascular territories of the ALT and AMT.…”

“…[9][10][11] In previously reported cases the flap usually served as part of a chimeric flap or as a backup procedure. 15,16 The exact vascular anatomy of the AMT perforator flap, particularly the size, site, and source vessel of the sizeable perforators, has not been comprehensively described to our knowledge.…”

Background:Anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is one of the most common flaps in the reconstruction armamentarium of plastic surgeons, but there is no published data about the flap characteristics in the Indian population. The aim of this study is to analyse the anthropomorphic characteristics of the ALT flap and the perforator details in Indian population.Materials and Methods:ALT flap details were studied in 65 patients of Indian origin comprising 45 males and 20 females. The study period is from August 2011 to July 2012. A prospective database of the Doppler findings, perforator and pedicle details and the flap morphology were maintained. The variables are analysed by using the SPSS, PASW statistics 18 software IBM®.Results:In nearly 75% of cases, the perforator was found within 4 cm of the pre-operative Doppler markings. The percentage of musculocutaneous and septocutaneous perforators was 61.8% and 38.2% respectively. The pedicle variation was found in 6 cases (9.23%). The average thickness of the thigh skin in Indians is similar to the western people, but thicker than the other Asian people. Flap thinning was performed in nine patients without any major complications.Conclusion:The perforator details and type in the Indian population are similar to the published reports from other parts of the world. We advise pre-operative Doppler examination in possible cases. The variation in pedicle anatomy should not be overlooked to avoid complications. The thickness of subcutaneous tissue of the flap is higher in Indians, but still can be safely thinned. The data of this study will serve as a guide for the ALT flap characteristics in Indian patients.
