Abstract
A modified Type B fasciocutaneous flap can be safely raised in the lateral thoracic region due to its rich vascularisation. This paper described the anatomical basis for such a flap, based on 18 dissections in 9 cadavers. The multiple direct cutaneous perforators which supply this region were found to be fairly constant and of adequate calibre to sustain a fasciocutaneous flap.
