Özet

The axial bilobed flap, based on the transverse and descending branches of the circumflex scapular artery, was used to successfully reconstruct burn contractures of the axilla. The main advantages of this flap are that the donor site is closed primarily, it provides an adequate amount of healthy and pliable skin with an excellent blood supply and no chance of contraction, and it is an easy technique. In this paper, two cases are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
