Abstract:
The dorsal muscular flap was pedicular flap. The flap’s pedicle comprised a thoracic artery, a dorsolumbar nerve and vein of bulb. When coming into the dorsal muscle, 88.37% of thoracic arteries divided into 2 branches. Extra branch was far from the anterior edge of medial muscle about 1.95 cm and intra-branch was far from the supra edge of medial muscle about 2.69cm. The thoracic artery can supply fully the blood for the dorsal muscular flap.
