Venous Drainage Pattern of Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator (SCIP) Flap: Implications for Surgical Planning and Outcomes
The venous drainage patterns of the groin flap can be classified into distinct types, aiding surgeons in the planning and design of SCIP flaps to enhance surgical precision. Understanding the reciprocal dominance between SCIA and superficial inferior epigastric artery systems enhances the reliability of groin flaps, making them a versatile choice for reconstructive surgery.CLINICAL QUESTION / LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
