Anterolateral thigh perforator flap from previously burned

Case Reports

Anterolateral thigh perforator flap from previously burned skin for secondary reconstruction of neck with post burn sequelae, new limits explored.

We report the use of anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTF) from previously burned skin for reconstruction of burn cervical contracture. At the time of treatment, there are no reports of the use of perforator flaps from previously burned skin. We have used this technique and feel that it might be an option to consider in view of the fact that massively burned patients often have limited donor site availability, despite requiring flap tissue to resurface difficult anatomical regions.
