Abstract:
Objective To study and solve the repairing and reconstruction characteristic for chronic radioactivity ulceration on chest wall.Methods Using transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps (TRAM) to repair and reconstruct 12 cases serious chronic radioactivity ulceration after radical operation of mastocarcinoma.Including 6 cases using single pedicle TRAM flaps, 6 cases using double pedicle TRAM flaps.Results All 12 cases were applied successfully with 100% survived and were followed-up for 1 to 4 years.There were better colour, texture, elasticity on flap and obviously improvement for cicatricial tissue round ulceration.Conclusion It is better choice for repairing chronic radioactivity ulceration on chest wall with transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps and it is also reliable method for flap circulation using double pedicle TRAM flaps by vascular anastomosis.
