Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of free superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA) superficial branch perforator flap combined with full-thickness skin graft far from the flap donor site in repairing the large wounds in extremities. Methods The study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2020 to June 2022, 19 patients with large wounds in extremities who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, including 15 males and 4 females, aged 28-75 years. The debridement, fracture reduction and fixation, tendon, vessel, and nerve repair, and vacuum sealing drainage were performed in the first stage surgery. After debridement in the second stage surgery, the total wound area was 13.0 cm×8.0 cm-34.0 cm×15.0 cm. The tendon and bone exposed wound with area of 9.0 cm×6.0 cm-14.0 cm×7.0 cm was repaired with free SCIA superficial branch perforator flap with area of 10.0 cm×6.5 cm-15.0 cm×8.0 cm. The remaining granulation tissue wound with area of 5.0 cm×3.5 cm-13.0 cm×8.0 cm was repaired with full-thickness skin graft far from the flap donor site with area of 5.0 cm×3.5 cm-13.0 cm×8.0 cm. All the wounds in donor site were sutured. The operation time and amount of bleeding of patients during the surgery were recorded, the survival of flap and skin graft were observed after surgery. During follow-up, the flap and skin graft, scar in the donor site and its effect on donor site function were observed. At the last follow-up, the satisfaction of patients with the efficacy was evaluated by the efficacy satisfaction rating score. Results The operation time of patients was 2.0-3.5 h. The amount of bleeding of patients during the surgery was 100-320 mL. One patient had ecchymosis and venous crisis in the edge of flap on the second day after surgery, and the flap survived after exploration. The flaps of the other patients survived smoothly. The skin grafts of patients all survived smoothly. Two patients had bloated flaps due to obesity in the later stage, and the expected results were achieved after flap thinning surgery 6 months after operation. During the follow-up of 6 to 24 months, the flaps had good elasticity and soft texture, and the skin grafts had no wear or ulceration; linear scars were left in all the donor sites but their functions were not affected. The patients were all satisfied with the efficacy. Conclusions Free SCIA superficial perforator flap combined with full-thickness skin graft far from the donor site was used to repair the large wounds in extremities, which was safe, reliable, and less traumatic and short in operation time, and resulted in good postoperative appearance and function in the donor sites and recipient sites.
