Reconstruction of a dorsal thoracic wall defect with a dorsal intercostal artery perforator flap after removal of a bulky cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: a case report

Based on these advantages, this flap should be considered a useful local option for reconstructing large cutaneous defects of the upper back.
