Muscle electrical activity after perforator flap surgery: a pilot cohort study

ConclusionsThis is the first quantitative analysis performed for the evaluation of muscle electrical activity after perforator flap surgery. Perforator pedicle intra-muscular dissection does not cause any injury to the muscle fibers. TDAP flap confirms to be a safe procedure for latissimus dorsi muscle function.Level of evidence: Level III, therapeutic study.
