The Kiss flap technique offers a reliable, less invasive method for lower limb reconstruction, effectively covering chronic tibial bone exposure. This approach combines functional and aesthetic benefits, improving patient outcomes in reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Lower limb defects pose reconstructive challenges, demanding functional and aesthetic solutions.
  • Autologous tissue transfer aims for optimal reconstruction with minimal donor-site morbidity.
  • Chronic tibial bone exposure requires reliable coverage techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of the Kiss flap technique for chronic tibial bone exposure.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the Kiss flap in lower limb reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two local perforator-based rotation flaps (Kiss flap) for defect coverage.
  • Employed a Doppler pen for precise perforator localization.
  • Confirmed postoperative vascularization with indocyanine green imaging.

Main Results:

  • Achieved complete healing without skin necrosis.
  • Demonstrated aesthetic improvements, including natural hair growth concealing the scar.
  • Ensured functional outcomes with adequate flap bulk for comfortable clothing wear.

Conclusions:

  • The Kiss flap is a versatile and reliable option for lower limb reconstruction, especially in compromised areas.
  • It offers a less invasive alternative to traditional muscle or free flaps.
  • Integration of advanced imaging enhances precision and reliability in reconstructive surgery.
