Free
anterolateral thigh flap planning and execution were performed on the left thigh to close the defects that would occur (Figure 3b).

These include the lateral arm flap, scapula/parascapular flap, radial forearm flap,
anterolateral thigh flap, free fibula flap, latissimus dorsi flap, rectus abdominis flap, gracilis flap, free filet flap, the medial femoral condyle periosteal bone flap, or various perforator flaps [41, 42].
In the head and neck region, the
anterolateral thigh flap has been used most often, with good results and excellent reliability.
Standard markings for free
anterolateral thigh flap was done on right thigh and exploratory incision was made, cutaneous perforator supplying the skin paddle was not reliable, Hence A vastus lateralis muscle with a 8-cm pedicle was Harvested.
Reconstruction of very large defects: a novel application of the double skin paddle
anterolateral thigh flap design provides for primary donor-site closure.
The size and consequently reach of the flap can be increased when used in combination with
anterolateral thigh flap [32].
Among the flaps groin and sural were the common pedicled and latisimuss dorsi and
anterolateral thigh flap were the common free flaps which were done in various reconstructive procedures(Table 3).
