    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Lower extremity reconstruction in children presents unique challenges.
    • Distant pedicled flap transfers are commonly used but can be complex.
    • Free flap techniques offer potential advantages in specific pediatric cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of free groin flap transfers for lower leg reconstruction in pediatric patients.
    • To compare free groin flap transfers with distant pedicled flap transfers in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Report of two cases involving successful free groin flap transfers to the lower legs of children.
    • Detailed description of the surgical technique and postoperative care.

    Main Results:

    • Both free groin flap transfers were technically successful.
    • The flaps provided adequate coverage and vascularity for the lower leg defects.
    • No major complications were reported in the postoperative period.

    Conclusions:

    • Free groin flap transfer is a safe and viable option for lower extremity reconstruction in children.
    • This technique can serve as a valuable alternative to distant pedicled flap transfers in pediatric cases.
    • Further studies are warranted to establish the long-term outcomes and broader applicability.
