Abstract

|
|
|
It is challenging to determine which beneficiary recipient vessel to use when performing microsurgery. The condition of the previous recipient vessel controls the outcome, when using the same recipient vessel inevitably in reoperation. In this case, we reconstructed the foot by reusing anterior tibial artery as a recipient vessel. A partial defect occured in patient who underwent reconstruction of the right foot with latissimusi dorsi free flap. We reconstructed the defect using anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap. When reconstructing with ALT free flap, we planned to reuse ATA. The operation site was healed without complications. If the transplanted flap and the condition of the recipient vessels are reliable, surgeons can consider reusing the recipient vessels during reoperation.
