摘要
Higher quality, fast, safe and permanent repair results can be observed with lower extremity reconstruction with free tissue transfer. Nevertheless the partial or total loss of flap is a serious problem due to the vascular problems of free tissue transfer. CASE: 68 year old female patient with tissue defect in lower left extremity due to high enegy trauma had operated with 42x14 cm bipediculated free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. The 42x14 cm flap which provided by bilateral 2 pedicules adaptated to its new localization and healed uneventfully. It has been recommended to prepare two individual pedicules in proper cases when big flap size required to reduce the risk of flap loss, as in the case with big size flap.
