Project Description
This animated video, intended for surgical fellows in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat, or ENT, surgery, introduces viewers to the surgical procedure for an anterolateral thigh perforator flap subfascial harvest technique.Resecting tumours of the head and neck may require a skin graft to be harvested from another part of the patient to repair tissue loss. This video highlights the key steps in the harvest of an anterolateral thigh perforator flap, including proper identification of important vessels and nerves, and the ideal location sites for vessel and fascia divisions. This unique case highlights both myocutaneous and septocutaneous perforators, providing excellent demonstration of the two most common options for perforator blood supply to the flap.The full video can be viewed at http://tvasurg.ca/
