Abstract
At the current stage of development of the reconstructive-plastic surgery, to remove combined soft-tissue—bone defects, a combined thoracodorsal flap is used most often. This flap includes, as a bone fragment, the lateral edge of scapula, which is supplied with blood by the arterial branch surrounding the scapula. However, our investigations of the blood supply of thoracodorsal flap from the system of thoracodorsal angiosom indicate that the inferior angle of scapula is supplied directly from the system of thoracodorsal artery. Based on the results obtained, we concluded that the inferior angle of scapula is supplied by the branch of the thoracodorsal artery, which has a length of (54.0 ± 11.8) mm and a diameter of (1.3 ± 0.3) mm and can be included in the combined thoracodorsal flap.
