Abstract :

A durable coverage of a wound necessitates a reconstruction to look for a conventional flap like skin or a fasciocutaneous flap. Other flaps in use are musculocutaneous flap when it comes cover a defect which needs bulk or infected wound. However these flaps are not without accompanying complications. Donor site unsightly look is one of them, the classical example of which is radial artery forearm flap. A muscle or musculocutaneous flap may cause functional deficit of the muscle concerned. As such a viable alternative is always sought for to mitigate this problem. A fascial flap is one such viable option. This study is aimed at feasibility and efficiency of use of fascial flap in those situations requiring a stable flap cover.
