These defects require cranioplasty to restore the bone cosmetic and functional roles and free\u2010flap soft tissue reconstruction to prevent cranioplasty exposure and further infection. Different materials have been used in cranioplasty, while different free flaps have been proposed in those cases. In this article, we present a case series of cranioplasty reconstruction with thoracodorsal artery perforator flap (TDAP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>From April 2016 to January 2018, 5 patients underwent cranioplasty reconstruction using alloplastics and TDAP flap. Two patients underwent primary cranioplasty and 3 patients underwent secondary cranioplasty. The superficial temporal vessels were always dissected as recipient vessels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The flap sizes range from 40 to 80\u2009cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> (mean 57\u2009cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and the maximum pedicle length was 12\u2009cm (mean 10 cm). All the donor sites were closed primary with minimal morbidity. No postoperative complications were experienced. All the flaps provided stable coverage with an acceptable color match. The mean follow\u2010up time was 4 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our data suggest that the TDAP may be employed in postcranioplasty reconstruction. The TDAP has more advantages compared to other flaps used in alloplastic reconstruction: a broad large surface, a long pedicle, and a thinner thickness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.30345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,3]],"date-time":"2018-07-03T15:43:10Z","timestamp":1530632590000},"page":"207-214","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Reconstruction
