Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • The groin flap is a versatile reconstructive tool with a hidden donor site.
  • Standard groin flaps often require secondary defatting for thin tissue areas like the neck, hand, or foot.
  • Thinner flaps are desirable for specific reconstructive challenges.
