Abstract
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to conduct a radioanatomical study of the osteo-myo-cutaneous scapulo-dorsal pedicled flap.
Methods: A radiological study was performed to study the anatomical variations of the dorsal scapular pedicle (origin, course of the deep branch of the dorsal scapular artery (DSA) in relation to the medial border of the scapula, perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA). Perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA were also identified on anatomical subjects, and their cutaneous vascular territory was determined.
Results: The DSA originated from the transverse cervical artery in 95% of cases. The deep branch of the DSA was in an anterolateral position relative to the medial border of the scapula in 70% of cases, and in an anteromedial position in 30%. In most cases, between 1 and 2 perforators arised from the superficial branch of the DSA. The mean size of the cutaneous vascular territory arising from the perforators of the superficial branch of the DSA was 7.8cmx8.5 cm.
Conclusion: When mandibular reconstruction with this flap is considered, a preoperative CT angiogram could ensure that the transverse cervical vessels have been preserved, and determine the position of the deep branch of the DSA relative to the medial edge of the scapula.
期刊介绍:
Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit.
Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest.
Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
