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 a thoracodorsal artery perforator flap 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 a thoracodorsal artery myocutaneous perforator flap, for a skin flap lying atop the latissimus dorsi muscle. Special attention is given to identification of anatomical landmarks during dissection to prevent injury to the perforator branch supplying the skin flap.The full video can be viewed at http://tvasurg.ca/
