Groin Flap For Reconstruction Research Articles

An ultra-thinned groin flap for reconstruction of complete digital ring avulsion injuries.

In complete digital ring avulsions, amputation is usually carried out when replantation of the avulsed tissue is not an option or has failed. The purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating Urbaniak Class III degloved fingers using an ultra-thinned pedicled groin flap. Sixteen patients from ages 11 to 26years were included. In all cases, the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon, extensor apparatus and proximal interphalangeal joint were intact. Rehabilitation included immediate active mobilization, with flap division at day 21. At a mean follow-up of 15months, all patients but one were satisfied with the appearance. Two had mild subjective cold intolerance. No flap failure was recorded. The mean total active motion was 183° and the mean QuickDASH score was 8.8/100. Patients recovered S1 sensibility according to the Mackinnon and Dellon classification. The ultra-thinned groin flap has proved to be a reliable technique for non-replantable ring avulsions.Level of evidence: IV.

Retrospective Study of 20 Patients that has Treated with Pedicled Groin Flap in Reconstruction in Hand Injuries

Pedicled groin flap has long been playing an important role in reconstructive hand surgery. This flap is a reliable method for closing the defects of the soft tissue loss of the hand and is used in many clinical conditions. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiology and geographic aspects of the patients that required the treatment with pedicled groin flap and to assess the outcomes achieved by the Children’s Surgical Centre to help guide the future practice. We studied of 20 patient that has treated with pedicled groin flap reconstruction of the hand injuries between 2009 and 2019 at the Children’s Surgical Centre, Kien Klerng, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In this study pedicled groin flap was used in 20 patients aged between 7 to 56 years, with a mean of 31 years or 40 % of all patients. The sex ratio M/F was 1.5 which was 12 male patients (60 %) and 08 female patients (40 %). The main cause of patient hand defects was from contracture related to burn sequelae which is 70 %.

Staged groin flap in reconstruction of the pediatric hand

In 24 staged groin flaps in 21 patients in the pediatric age group, primary full survival was seen in 83%, whereas some flap necrosis required excision and advancement in 17%. There were no cases of flap separation related to poor cooperation of the patient. This procedure in children is similar to the reliable staged groin flap in adults and would appear to compare favorably to free transfer of skin flaps.
