Use of distally based saphenous neurofasciocutaneous and musculofasciocutaneous cross-leg flaps in limb salvage. Annals of Plastic Surgery. 47(5), s. 568-574.1536-3708https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12415/3532Neurocutaneous island flaps have been very popular in soft-tissue coverage of the lower extremities. These flaps are based on the arterial network around the superficial sensory nerves. The advantages of these flaps are easy and quick dissection (hence a time-saving operation), acceptable donor site morbidity, and preservation of major arteries of the leg. The authors used five neurofasciocutaneous and three musculofasciocutaneous flaps successfully as cross-leg flaps for the coverage of relatively large defects of the lower two thirds of the leg and foot in 8 patients. They conclude that reverse saphenous neurofasciocutaneous and musculofasciocutaneous flaps as a cross-leg flap in patients who cannot be reconstructed with other flap alternatives have many advantages over traditionNeurocutaneous island flaps have been very popular in soft-tissue coverage of the lower extremities.
