Abstract:
With extensive loss of local soft tissues after resection of a sarcoma, standard closure may not be possible. The large operative defect in this instance may necessitate a free tissue transfer. Use of a vascularized tissue transfer from the leg of the amputated extremity of a patient to close a hemipelvectomy defect is described.
