Summary
The chimeric profunda artery perforator (PAP) - gracilis flap, a vascularized tissue transfer, is a viable option for dynamic tongue reconstruction after total glossectomy. Preoperative imaging is crucial for identifying this specific anatomical variation.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Vascular Anatomy
Background:
- Total glossectomy necessitates reconstructive methods for functional restoration.
- The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap, when combined with the gracilis muscle in a chimeric configuration, offers potential for dynamic reconstruction.
- Anatomical variations of this chimeric flap require radiological evaluation.
