Official title
Reconstructive Potential of The Pedicled Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap; Prospective Clinical Assessment of The Arc of Rotation and Recipient-Site Reach in Upper Body Reconstruction
Overview
evaluation of versatility and reliability of thoracodorsal artery perforator flap by assessment of recipient site reach
Detailed description
Prospectively evaluate the reconstructive capacity of the pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap by objectively measuring its arc of rotation and achievable recipient-site reach, and correlating these parameters with flap survival, complication rates, donor-site morbidity, and functional and aesthetic outcomes in upper body reconstruction.
Interventions
- Procedure Reconstruction
Harvesting thoracodorsal artery perforator flap and insetting in the recipient sites reachable for this flap
Primary outcome measures
- Recipient Site Reach [Time frame: 12 months recruitment and 6 months follow up]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria

- Adequate general condition for surgery
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with uncontrolled comorbidities.
- Prior surgery or radiation in the donor region that compromises vascular anatomy.
- Active local infection or poor wound bed vascularity.
