Résumé
The thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is increasingly used in head and neck reconstructions. One of its multiple advantages is the low donor site morbidity compared to the other free flaps usually used for this type of surgery, such as the radial forearm free flap and the anterolateral flap of the thigh. However, the current harvesting technique of the thoracodorsal artery free perforator flap needs a vertical incision rising high in the axillary hollow for the dissection of the pedicle, thus impeding optimal discretion of the donor site, especially for women. We describe an original technique to harvest a pure transversal skin paddle on its own perforator, leaving a horizontal scar thoroughly hidden in the bra and preserving the thoracodorsal pedicle. We detail the requirements for this new type of harvesting.
