Abstract
VASSARO, V. O.; ALI, A. H. and CAPPONI, D. M.. Pectoral muscle flap based on inferior-internal perforators: Inverted dual plane. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.2, pp.107-114. ISSN 1989-2055.
Some times, the mammary inferior breast pole can be affected in its thickness due to different causes such as merely overtime, oncology resections, implant exposure caused by infection, seromas, fistulas, etc. This paper describes a surgical alternative to provide a greater coverage in the inferior-internal quadrant of the breast, using a pectoral muscle flap in its distal position based on the irrigation by its internal perforating artery.
Keywords : Perforator flaps; Pectoral muscle; Inverted dual plane.
