One-stage ante-thoracic reconstruction of the thoracic oesophagus using myocutaneous flaps
British Journal of Plastic Surgery
|October 1, 1984
Abstract:
An ante-thoracic reconstruction of the thoracic oesophagus was performed by fashioning a skin tube from a skin flap supplied by perforators from the internal mammary vessels. This neo-oesophagus was covered with a trapezius myocutaneous flap and a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, in a one stage operation.
