Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Tissue expansion methods have been recommended as a means of improving the clinical results with perforator flaps but in plastic surgery literature there are few clinical trials supporting this opinion. The purposes of this clinical study are to address the ''preexpanded perforator flap concept'' by demonstrating a case series of relevant reconstructive procedures and to evaluate the perforator vessel changes that happen during the expansion periods of various perforator flap donor sites.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

preexpanded flap

Fourteen patients were treated with fifteen '' preexpanded perforator flap surgery '' interventions. The last six cases were evaluated in terms of perforator artery diameter before and after expansion process. The preexpanded flap donor sites' perforator artery diameters were also compared with their anatomic equivalents located in the symmetric side of the body.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

preexpanded perforator flap surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

control side

In six of the 14 patients, perforator artery diameter of the nonexpanded symmetric anatomical side of the body (equivalent to the expanded site)were measured.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
