Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Posterior trunk defects present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • These defects can be congenital or acquired, frequently resulting from major tumor resections.
  • Trauma and burns are less common causes of trunk defects.

Purpose:

  • To review current strategies for managing posterior trunk defects.
  • To highlight the efficacy of regional and local flaps in defect coverage.
  • To emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation in achieving successful outcomes.

Summary:

  • Regional and local flaps, particularly musculocutaneous and perforator flaps, are favored for covering posterior trunk defects.
  • These defects commonly arise from oncologic resections, with trauma and burns being less frequent etiologies.

  • Effective management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach.

    • Impact:

    • Improved reconstructive techniques enhance functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients with trunk defects.
    • The favored use of musculocutaneous and perforator flaps offers versatile solutions for complex reconstructions.
    • Interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for optimizing patient care and surgical success in trunk defect management.
