Fascio-cutaneous flaps (LFC) are largely historical, except for axillary and thoraco-dorsal types. These specific LFCs remain valuable for reconstructive surgery, particularly in the axilla and breast.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Thoracic wall reconstruction

Context:

  • Fascio-cutaneous flaps (LFC) of the thoracic wall have diminished in general use due to advancements in other flap types.
  • However, specific LFCs, namely axillary and lateral thoraco-dorsal, retain significant clinical relevance.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the enduring utility of specific fascio-cutaneous flaps in thoracic reconstruction.
  • To detail the applications and advantages of axillary and lateral thoraco-dorsal LFCs.

Summary:

  • Axillary LFCs are employed for axillary contractures and defects post-hidradenitis suppurativa excision.
  • Lateral thoraco-dorsal LFCs enable immediate breast reconstruction, offering reliability and facilitating adjuvant therapy.
  • These flaps provide essential reconstructive options despite the advent of more complex flap techniques.

Impact:

  • Preserves valuable reconstructive options for specific thoracic and axillary defects.
  • Facilitates efficient breast reconstruction and subsequent oncological treatment.
  • Maintains the relevance of established techniques in specialized reconstructive scenarios.
