Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical effects of individualized free anterolateral thigh flap in repairing complex refractory wound. Methods From July 2015 to May 2019, 19 patients with complex refractory wounds were hospitalized in Yulin NO.1 People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, including 12 males and 7 female, aged 13-67 years. There were 5 patients with multiple tissue defects, 7 patients with large area of wounds, and 7 patients with wounds in special areas. The sizes of wounds after complete debridement were 8 cm×5 cm-23 cm×7 cm. According to the repair demand, the wounds in 5 patients were repaired with anterolateral thigh flaps and flow-through, the wounds in 7 patients were repaired with anterolateral thigh flaps chimed with lateral thigh muscle flaps, with vascular anastomosis in 2 patients, the wounds in 6 patients were repaired with unilateral anterolateral thigh lobulated flaps, and the wound in 1 patient was repaired with bilateral anterolateral thigh flap in series connection. The sizes of flaps were 10 cm×7 cm-25 cm×9 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly or repaired with thin split-thickness skin graft of head. The survival of the flaps, the appearance of the donor sites, and wounds repair after the operation and during follow-up were observed. Results The lobulated flap in 1 patient had local necrosis after the operation and finally healed by debridement, dressing change, and transplanting medium split-thickness skin graft in groin. The flaps in 18 patients survived with good blood supply, and the lobulated flap tissue was swollen in 1 of 18 patients. The donor sites which were directly sutured in 18 patients only had linear scar, and the donor site which was repaired with thin split-thickness skin graft of head in 1 patient had flaky scar. Follow-up of 1-12 months showed that all the wounds healed well, the flap thinning operations were performed in 5 patients in 3 months post operation because the flaps were slightly bloated. The CT angiography after the operation showed that the anastomosed blood vessels were unobstructed in 7 patients with reconstructed local blood supply. Conclusions The special forms of anterolateral thigh flap, such as lobulation, series connection, and chimerism can be designed according to the anatomical characteristics of the descending branch of the lateral femoral artery to meet individualized repair demand for complex refractory wounds, and achieve the double purposes of making full use of the donor site tissue and good repair of the recipient site.
