Detailed description

The field of plastic surgery, unlike most other surgical specialties, has no anatomic or functional area to which it can lay claim; the plastic surgeon practices methods and techniques applicable to all specialties and anatomic areas. Reconstructive surgery is the process of restoring the human body to "whole" following tumor extirpation, infection, trauma or congenital or acquired deformity - restoring both form and function. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the thoracodorsal artery perforator flap versus other conventional free flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue defects.
