“…20 Popliteal fossa defects present a rare but challenging condition for reconstructive surgeons. 21 Different techniques have been described to treat these types of defects, such as skin grafting and expanders; local flaps such as the gastrocnemius muscle flap, lateral sural fasciocutaneous artery island flap, or pedicled peroneal artery flap; and more complex free tissue transfer (free latissimus dorsi or anterolateral thigh flap). [22][23][24][25][26] However, many of these reconstructive options are limited in their use because of their insufficient size, mechanical properties, or complex recipient vessel situation.…”

urgical reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in the knee, popliteal fossa, and upper lower leg area is a challenging task. One has to not only restore an aesthetic appearance but also enable proper function. Because of the limited availability and mobility of the adjacent skin, defects involving these areas often require complex reconstruction procedures.Many techniques, such as skin grafting, local skin flaps, pedicled muscle flaps, and free flaps, have already been described for the reconstruction of these regions; however, these regions should optimally be repaired using thin and pliable flaps. Based on basic plastic surgery principles to replace "like with like" with minimal donor-site morbidity and without sacrificing a major vessel, perforator flaps designed from the medial calf area represent a viable option. In particular, the medial sural artery perforator flap, which is harvested from this region, is therefore ideal for the

“…Despite their limitations, primary closure, granulation, and grafts join a host of previously described approaches that have been successfully used to repair defects in the popliteal fossa, including – random flaps, muscle flaps, fasciocutaneous flaps, free-flaps, and tissue expansion. [ 2 ]…”

HighlightsPopliteal tumors and their associated defects present the dermatologic surgeon with rare and unique surgical and reconstruction challenges.When planning reconstruction in the popliteal fossa, prolonged wound care and functional impairment are concerns.In such an area with little tissue laxity, a random patterned bilobed with an undersized secondary lobe is an excellent solution to this challenge.
