旋肩胛血管横支岛状皮瓣修复严重腋窝瘢痕挛缩畸形

目的 探讨应用旋肩胛血管横支岛状皮瓣修复严重腋窝瘢痕挛缩畸形的可行性.方法 对12例患者共15侧严重腋窝瘢痕挛缩畸形采用旋肩胛血管横支为蒂的岛状皮瓣修复,皮瓣面积12 cm×5 cm至20 cm×10 cm,旋转180°覆盖创面,供瓣区直接拉拢缝合.结果 所有皮瓣全部成活,挛缩腋窝得到了基本纠正,8例患者随访1～3年,腋窝外观满意,肩关节功能良好.结论 旋肩胛血管横支岛状皮瓣是修复严重腋窝瘢痕挛缩的良好方法,特别适合于女性或不适宜选用旋肩胛血管降支或升支形成旋肩胛皮瓣的患者.

Island scapular flap based on transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery for axillary burn scar contracture

Objective Island scapular flap (ISF) based on transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery is less reported than ISF based on ascending or descending branch. This article presented authors' experiences in correction of severe axillary burn scar contracture with ISF based transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery. Methods ISFs based transverse branch was harvested in 12 patients with 15 severe axillary burn scar contracture, rotating an arc of about 180°. Flap size was between 12 cm× 5cm to 20 cm × 10 cm. The donor site was closed primarily. Results All 15 flaps survived completely and axillary burn scar contracture was corrected successfully. 8 patients were satisfied with both the functional and aesthetic results after 1-3 years' follow-up. Conclusion ISF based transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery is a good choice for reconstruction of severe axillary burn scar contracture, especially for female patients or ones whose ISF based on ascending or descending branch could not be harvested because of formation of hypertrophic scar in donor site.
