Abstract
Large defects following resection of skin cancers are sometimes a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Although skin grafts are considered as the first choice for reconstruction of large skin defects at the trunk region, pedicled or free flaps provide sometimes a superior functional and aesthetic outcome. Perforator flaps represent a valuable option for these patients. The progress in understanding the perforator vessel system of the body facilitated the development of a plethora of novel pedicled flaps which could be transferred over long distances with minimal donor site morbidity. We present a patient suffering from a large exulcerated basalioma at the lumbar region. The skin defect after excision was reconstructed using a novel concept based on 2 independent pedicled perforator flaps, a lumbar artery perforator, and a lateral intercostal artery perforator.
