Guidance for Circumflex Scapular Artery Flap Utilization in Pediatric Reconstruction
The CSA flap treated a wide variety of indications demonstrating the flap's attributes: large vessel caliber, wide arc of rotation, reliable vascular anatomy, minimal donor site morbidity, and ability to incorporate bone and muscle. Our cases also highlight important pediatric considerations such as vascular mismatch and limited scapular bone stock. We recommend selection of the parascapular over the scapular flap with reconstruction of larger, complex defects given its ability to be harvested with a large skin paddle.
