Expanding Flap Territory With Intraflap Anastomosis in Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator and Anterolateral Thigh Flaps: Feasibility and Strategic Considerations

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the feasibility of intraflap anastomosis for expanding vascular territories in specific flaps.
• Performed a retrospective analysis of intraflap anastomosis technique.
• Focused on TDAP and ALT flaps for reconstruction purposes.
• Assessed outcomes related to feasibility of the procedure.
• The technique demonstrated feasibility for expanding flap vascular territories.
• Provided a new option for extensive defect reconstruction when necessary.
