Abstract:
Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of anterolateral femoral interregional flap with turbocharge technique and traditional anterolateral femoral flap in repair of large limb wounds.Methods:Clinical data of 38 patients with large limb surface wound(11 cm×39 cm-16 cm×65 cm)admitted to the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from May 2018 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Eighteen patients were treated by anterolateral thigh perforator flap combined with superficial circumflex iliac artery flap(ALTP-SCIAP)with turbocharge technique(interregional flap group);while 20 patients were treated with unilateral or bilateral anterolateral femoral flaps,combined with skin grafting if necessary(traditional anterolateral femoral flap group).The survival of skin flap,repair of donor area,complications and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:In interregional flap group,18 flaps were harvested and transplanted,the flap width,length and the viable area were(9.9±2.0)cm,(44.2±3.5)cm and(343.2±79.9)cm2,respectively.In traditional anterolateral femoral flap group,29 flaps were harvested and transplanted,the flap width,length and the viable area were(11.0±2.8)cm,(21.7±3.2)cm and(186.4±49.2)cm2,respectively.There were significant differences in the flap length and the viable area between the two groups(t=22.365 and 8.345,both P<0.05).In the interregional flap group,the donor site of flap was closed by direct suture in 11 flaps,by skin retractor assisted suture in 6 flaps,and by skin grafting in one flap.In traditional anterolateral femoral flap group,the donor site of flap was closed by direct suture in 12 flaps,by skin retractor assisted suture in 11 flaps,and by skin grafting in 6 flaps.The skin graft rates of the two groups were 5.6%(1/18)and 20.7%(6/29),respectively(χ2=2.007,P>0.05).The interregional flap group had lower postoperative complications rate(5.6%vs.35.0%,χ2=4.942,P<0.05)and higher patient satisfaction rate(94.4%vs.70.0%,χ2=4.448,P<0.05)than traditional anterolateral femoral flap group.Conclusion:Compared with the traditional anterolateral femoral flap,the anterolateral femoral interregional flap with turbocharge technique has a larger flap area,most of the donor areas of the flap can be sutured directly without skin grafting and with less complications and a higher patient satisfaction rate.
