CASE 92: Kaposi's Sarcoma Located in the Ankle
- Hits: 119
An unplanned procedure was performed at another hospital due to a mass in the ankle region, and the pathology result showed a soft tissue sarcoma with positive surgical margins. The patient underwent bed resection (removal of residual tumor with clean margins) and closure of the resulting cavity with a counterflow sural flap. Following wound healing, the patient was referred to radiation oncology.
Surgical Scene: The old incision line, the residual tumor tissue removed along with the overlying skin, and the resulting cavity are shown, along with the preparation of a reverse-flow sural flap.
Surgical Procedure: The placement of the flap into the cavity and the application of skin grafting to the donor area are shown.
