Role Of Tubed Pedicle From Thigh For Resurfacing Defects Of Lower Extremity
Summary
The utility and versatility of a tubed pedicle from the thigh hither-to unexploited for resurfacing difficult and extensive cutaneous defects of the lower extremity have been discussed. The experiences in a series of 13 patients have been presented. We advocate this method in all major defects where indications exist for importing tissues froa a distance (abdominal tubed pedicle or tubed groin flap) for reasons of convenience and ease of fixation. The donor site is well covered and leaves no residual disability.
