腓肠神经-小隐静脉营养血管远端蒂皮瓣动脉穿支的应用解剖

目的研究腓肠神经-小隐静脉营养血管远端蒂皮瓣动脉穿支的分布规律及临床应用。方法对30侧动脉灌注红色乳胶成人下肢标本,解剖观测远端蒂部的动脉来源及分布。2003年1月～2004年8月,在解剖学研究的基础上,临床采用低旋转点的腓肠神经-小隐静脉营养血管远端蒂皮瓣36例。其中男21例,女15例。年龄6～66岁,平均35.2岁。足跟及足底部皮肤缺损18例,足背部缺损10例,中前足缺损8例,均伴有骨、肌腱外露。缺损范围:3.5cm×2.5cm～17.0cm×11.0cm,切取皮瓣4cm×3cm～18cm×12cm。结果远端蒂动脉穿支2～5支,来源于跟外侧动脉穿支及外踝后动脉穿支,外径0.6±0.2mm和0.8±0.2mm,距外踝尖上1.0±1.3cm和2.8±1.0cm。腓动脉肌间隔穿支0～3支,出现率依次为96.7%、66.7%和20.0%,外径0.9±0.3、1.0±0.2和0.8±0.4mm,距外踝尖上5.3±2.1、6.8±2.8和7.0±4.0cm。动脉穿支发出皮支、皮神经浅静脉营养支和深筋膜支,形成腓肠神经-小隐静脉营养血管链和深、浅筋膜血管网。临床应用36例皮瓣全部成活,仅3例术后皮瓣边缘少量坏死,经换药后愈合。所有患者经8～16个月随访,供区外形良好,患肢能正常行走,皮瓣感觉逐步恢复。结论以外踝后动脉穿支为蒂,皮瓣旋转点在外踝尖上3.0cm。以跟外侧动脉穿支为蒂,皮瓣旋转点近外踝尖平面。

APPLIED ANATOMY OF THE PERFORATING BRANCHES ARTERY AND ITS DISTALLY-BASED FLAP OF SURAL NERVE NUTRIENT VESSELS

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of the perforating branches artery of distally-based flap of sural nerve nutrient vessels and its clinical application. METHODS: The origins and distribution of perforating branches artery of distally-based flap were observed on specimens of 30 adult cadaveric low limbs by perfusing red gelatin to dissect the artery. Among the 36 cases, there were 21 males, 15 females. Their ages ranged from 6 to 66, 35. 2 in average. The defect area was 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm to 17.0 cm x 11.0 cm. The flap taken ranged from 4 cm x 3 cm to 18 cm x 12 cm. RESULTS: The perforating branches artery of distally-based flap had 2 to 5 branches and originated from the heel lateral artery, the terminal perforating branches of peroneal artery (diameters were 0.6+/-0.2 mm and 0.8+/-0.2 mm, 1.0 +/- 1.3 cm and 2.8 +/- 1.0 cm to the level of cusp lateral malleolus cusp). The intermuscular septum perforating branches of peroneal artery had 0 to 3 branches. Their rate of presence was 96.7%, 66.7% and 20.0% respectively (the diameters were 0.9 +/- 0.3, 1.0 +/- 0.2 and 0.8 +/- 0.4 mm, and their distances to the level of cusp of lateral malleolus were 5.3 +/- 2.1, 6.8 +/- 2.8 and 7.0 +/- 4.0 cm). Those perforating branches included fascia branches, cutaneous branches, nerve and vein nutrient branches. Those nutrient vessels formed longitudinal vessel chain of sural nerve shaft, vessel chain of vein side and vessel network of deep superficial fascia. The distally-based superficial sural artery island flap was used in 18 cases, all flaps survived. CONCLUSION: Distally-based sural nerve, small saphenous vein, and nutrient vessels of fascia skin have the same origin. Rotation point of flap is 3.0 cm to the cusp of lateral malleolus, when the distally-based flap is pedicled with the terminal branch of peroneal artery. Rotation point of flap is close to the cusp of lateral malleolus, when the distally-based flap is pedicled with the heel lateral artery.
