L‐Shaped Scapular and Parascapular Combined Flap for Reconstruction of a Large Surface Defect After Sarcoma Resection Using <scp>ICG</scp> Angiography: A Case Series of 6 Patients
L-shaped combined scapular and parascapular flaps are promising reconstructive techniques for large surface defects after STS resection with low donor-site morbidity and preservation of shoulder function. The novel application of these flaps for large circular defects below the gluteal region, combined with the use of ICG angiography to ensure flap viability and enhance surgical safety, are key contributions of this study.
