SUBTOTAL AMPUTE BİR EKSTREMİTENİN REVASKÜLARİZASYONU VE EŞZAMANLI FONKSİYONEL REKONSTRÜKSİYONU

30 yaşında erkek hasta, araç içi trafik kazası geçirdikten 2 saat sonra bölümümüz el cerrahisi ekibine danışıldı. Fizik muayenesinde sağ önkolda dolaşım kaybı, median ve ulnar sinirlerde yaralanma ve önkolda fleksiyon kaybı gözlendi. Ayrıca 14x7 cm. alanda cilt kaybı olduğu görüldü. Ven grefti ile brakial arter anastomozunu takiben median ve ulnar sinirler koapte edildi. Doku defektini kapatmak ve önkola fleksiyon kazandırmak için fonksiyonel latissimus dorsi kas-deri flebi dirsek ön yüzüne taşındı. Ancak ameliyat sonrası 3. ayda kasta ekskürsiyon problemi olduğu gözlendi. Bunu düzeltmek için kasın insersiyosu daha proksimal bir konuma taşındı. Ameliyat sonrası birinci yıl sonucu olarak dirsek ekleminde tam fleksiyon gözlendi. İlk ameliyat sonucu yaşanan ekskürsiyon problemi intraoperatif yetersiz kas gevşekliğine bağlandı. Bu çalışmada, optimum sonuca ulaşmak için fonksiyonel kas transferi sırasında kas gevşekliğinin yakın monitörizasyonun önemi vurgulanmıştır.

REVASCULARIZATION OF A SUBTOTAL AMPUTATED EXTREMITY AND ITS SYNCHRONOUS FUNCTIONAL RECONSTRUCTION

A thirty year old male patient presented to our hand surgery team 2 hours after a motor vehicle accident. His physical examination revealed lack of circulation in his right forearm with totally severed median and ulnar nerves and loss of forearm flexion. Additionally, a 14 x 7 cm skin area was lost. After brachial artery anastomosis with vein graft and median and ulnar nerve coaptation, a functional latissimus dorsi musculo-cutaneous flap was transferred to maintain elbow flexion and defect coverage. However, an excursion problem occurred in the post operative third month. In order to fix this, insertio of the muscle was transferred to a more proximal position. Post operative one year result was satisfactory with the complete flexion of the elbow. This problem appears to occur due to insufficient muscle relaxation during first surgery. In this report the importance of the monitoring anaesthesia and muscle relaxation during this type of functional muscle transfer was stressed to ensure optimum results.
