ABSTRACT
The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap is a reliable method of reconstruction by which the indications were on a constant rise during the last few years. Several surgical variants exist and different harvesting techniques were described. However, with our experience using this flap for substance-loss coverage, we frequently faced a complex and relatively time-consuming pedicle dissection. This brought us to adapt our harvesting technique according to the anatomical situations of the neighboring structures. The purpose of this study is to revisit and adapt the method of the pedicle dissection for the TDAP flap. The conservation of both the nervous network and a section of a circumferential muscular collar with a diameter of two centimeters are the main keys of our study.
