Aims and Objectives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the versatility of pedicled @entity392 for reconstruction of various anatomical regions. Materials and Methods. In this retrospective study a total of 34 @entity1 with defects over various anatomical regions were included. The defects were located over the trochanter (n = 12), groin (n = 8), perineum (n = 6), lower anterior abdomen (n = 6), gluteal region (n = 1), and ischial region (n = 1). The etiology of defects included @entity130 (n = 12), @entity281 (n = 8), pressure sores (n = 8), and @entity5 (n = 6). Reconstruction was performed using pedicled @entity392 . @entity1 were evaluated in terms of viability of the flap and donor site morbidity. The technical details of the operative procedure have also been outlined. Results. All the flaps survived well except 5 @entity1 in which minor complications were noted and 1 who experienced complete flap loss. Of those with minor complications, 1 @entity1 developed @entity39 and 1 developed @entity281 which subsided within three days by dressings and antibiotics and in 2 @entity1 partial loss of the skin graft occurred at the donor site out of which 1 required regrafting and another one healed completely with dressing and antibiotics. All the @entity1 were followed up for an average period of 6 months, ranging from 1 to 12 months. Donor site morbidity was minimal. Conclusion. It was concluded that the pedicled @entity392 is a versatile, reliable, easy, and less time consuming procedure for the coverage of defects around trochanter, groin, lower anterior abdomen, perineum, and ischial region.
