| pubmed-article:12968224 | pubmed:abstractText | Free tissue transplantation is nowadays regarded as an established method in reconstructive surgery - even in infants. Adequate diameters of vessels for microsurgical anastomosis have been shown in numerous studies. Especially the latissimus dorsi muscle seems to be ideal as a standard flap in this age group. The main disadvantage of this muscle flap lies in its donor-site morbidity with the risk of scar contracture and limitation of shoulder movement. A possible solution to this problem is the endoscopically-assisted harvest of this muscle. A three-year old boy sustained a subtotal amputation of his right heel with consecutive necrosis of soft-tissue. After debridement, a latissimus dorsi-muscle flap was transplanted to cover the defect. The flap was harvested endoscopically-assisted through a single, 2 cm long incision in the left axilla. Healing of the flap was uneventful. At 30 months follow-up the patient showed stable conditions at the right heel without limitations of movement and a hardly visible scar in the left axilla without any noticable growing impairment. Free microvascular muscle-flaps are the treatment of choice in infants with extensive traumatic defects. With the use of minimally invasive operation techniques it is possible to significantly reduce donor-site morbidity and increase therapeutic success even in the youngest patients. | lld:pubmed |
