Introduction: Anterior and Posterior tibial vessels are commonly used for anastomosis in lower limb reconstruction. There are situations when both of these vessels have inadequate flow or the lie of the adjacent vessel in relation to the flap is not conducive for total coverage of the defect. In these situations, Peroneal pedicle can be used as the recipient vessel for free tissue transfer. We present our experience of using Peroneal pedicle as recipient vessel for successful free tissue transfer. Methods: All the patients undergoing free tissue transfer for lower limb reconstruction having anastomosis with Peroneal vessels were included. The patients fall under two groups. 1. Trauma-6 patients with complex defect due to trauma had normal palpable distal pulsations at ankle but the target vessel was thrombosed, flap orientation was not conducive for the other vessel hence intraoperative decision to use Peroneal vessels was made. 2. Diabetic foot-Three patients had clinically non palpable pulsations at the ankle. They had biphasic flow in both the Tibial vessels and triphasic in peroneal as confirmed preoperatively with color Doppler. Free flaps were done using the anastomosis to Peroneal vessels. Results: Of 182 free flaps for lower limb reconstruction in last 4 years we have used Peroneal vessels as recipient pedicle in nine patients for successful free tissue transfer. All the flaps survived without any complication. Conclusion: Peroneal pedicle can be safely utilized as recipient vessel for free to free transfer in special situations. This is an underutilized pedicle to reconstruct many complex defects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The reverse abdominoplasty is an effective technique for selected patients seeking treatment for upper abdominal tissue excess and laxity. Specifically, the procedure is particularly effective in patients who have previously undergone conventional abdominoplasty or liposuction and have residual upper abdominal contour problems. It is a versatile technique that may be combined with a number of adjunctive procedures, notably autologous breast augmentation with the excess upper abdominal tissue. Methods: The authors reviewed their experience with the reverse abdominoplasty in a series of 14 consecutive patients who underwent surgery over a five-year period. Patient case notes, as well as and pre- and postoperative clinical photographs, were analyzed. Furthermore, patients were directly questioned to assess their surgical result. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 56.6 years and the majority of patients had undergone previous abdominal or breast aesthetic surgery. A mean of 6 cm of upper abdominal tissue was excised, weighing a mean of 326 g. There were no major complications and only three patients had to undergo minor revisional surgery postoperatively. Conclusions: The authors present their surgical outcomes and discuss the indications, benefits, and lessons they have learned from their experience with this useful technique in relation to the published literature. The ideal candidate for this procedure appears to be a patient who is older, presents with excess upper abdominal skin, has had a previous conventional abdominoplasty, and who has existing inframammary scars.
