McGregor's Flap: A Very Reliable Flap in the Hands of Novice Surgeons about a Case
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The inguinal flap is a remotely pedunculated “axial” flap. This is a very reliable flap for coverage of major upper limb soft tissue loss. It remains a flap of choice in the therapeutic arsenal of upper limb surgery, in emergency and deferred surgery [1-3]. McGregor in 1972 made the first description of this flap which depends on a constant vascular system [4]. The indication for this flap depends on the location of the area of soft tissue loss. It finds its place in the back of the hand and the forearm [5-7]. We report in this context the case of a 70-year-old female patient, who was referred to us from a provincial hospital for the management of cutaneous post-traumatic defect in the postero-external region of the right forearm. For the cover, we opted, given its simplicity and reliability, for an inguinal flap with a completely favorable post-operative evolution (Fig. 1).
