HJHyung Hwa Jeong WTWarangkana Tonaree HKHyun Il Kang

Key Points

The study aims to classify venous drainage patterns of the SCIP flap to enhance surgical planning.
Classification of venous drainage patterns in SCIP flaps.
Analysis of arterial systems involved, particularly SCIA and superficial inferior epigastric artery.
Assessment of implications for surgical precision.
Identified distinct venous drainage types for SCIP flaps.
Showed improved reliability of groin flaps with a clear understanding of arterial interactions.
Demonstrated that knowledge of venous patterns aids in surgical planning.

Abstract

The venous drainage patterns of the groin flap can be classified into distinct types, aiding surgeons in the planning and design of SCIP flaps to enhance surgical precision. Understanding the reciprocal dominance between SCIA and superficial inferior epigastric artery systems enhances the reliability of groin flaps, making them a versatile choice for reconstructive surgery.CLINICAL QUESTION / LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
