Scapular free-flap dissection made easier.
An improved technique for the dissection of the scapular free flap is presented. It includes identification of the triangular space by palpation and delivery and deep dissection of the proximal flap pedicle by means of a counterincision in the axilla. This technique allows for a rapid, safe, and easy dissection of the transverse scapular flap.
