Abstract:
The centre ground in the world of flaps have over time, gradually shifted from tubed pedicled, random-pattern, axial-pattern, pedicled, free and currently, to free-styled flaps. These concepts are broadly based on the angiosome-perforasome concept. In this case report, we illustrate how the concept of venosome capture can be transposed onto reverse-flow flaps with the aid of venous supercharging. Moreover, if this is seen from the free-styled flap perspective, it requires supermicrosurgical expertise. This case report hence, serves as a fusion of all the above concepts.
