    Free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps can face anastomosis issues. Controlled narrowing of a vein graft equalized caliber differences, ensuring flap circulation in a lower leg reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Vascular surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps are used for lower leg tissue defects.
    • Preoperative angiography and plethysmography assess lower leg vessels.
    • Vessel anastomosis during flap surgery can encounter complications.

    Observation:

    • A case of lower leg tissue defect reconstruction using a free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is presented.
    • Thrombosis occurred at the anastomosis due to a size mismatch between the vein graft and the thoraco-dorsal artery.
    • This size discrepancy posed a risk to flap viability.

    Findings:

    • The caliber difference between the vein graft and the recipient artery was addressed.
    • Controlled narrowing of the vein graft was performed to equalize vessel sizes.

  • Successful equalization of caliber differences ensured anastomosis patency.

    • Implications:

    • This technique can overcome anastomosis challenges in free flap surgery.
    • Maintaining anastomosis patency is crucial for free flap survival.
    • Controlled vein graft caliber modification is a viable strategy in reconstructive microsurgery.
