Detailed preoperative surgical planning was performed using computed tomography (CT) angiography and color Doppler ultrasound. Detailed anatomical information of the flaps and reconstructive outcomes were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Flap characteristics between SCIP free flaps and SIEA free flaps were similar. The average transverse distance of the perforator from anterior superior iliac spine was 15.91\u2009cm in SCIP free flaps and 43.15\u2009cm in SIEA free flaps. The overall flap success rate was 96.4%. Majority of the patients achieved satisfactory contour without debulking surgery. Donor site morbidity was minimal with one case of wound dehiscence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003The selective use of the SCIP and SIEA free flap in groin area is a safe and useful technique. The surgical outcomes were reliable and similar between the SCIP and SIEA free flaps. Preoperative vascular planning using CT angiography and color Doppler ultrasound is essential for selecting the proper flap.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1887-7274","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]],"date-time":"2022-06-29T18:59:06Z","timestamp":1656529146000},"page":"148-155","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Maximizing
