Brief summary

To evaluate reliability of free style propeller perforator flap for coverage MMC soft tissue defect follow a well-established step that overcome the usual problem of pedicled perforators propellers flaps.

Detailed description

Meningomyelocele is a serious congenital birth defect that not only affect mortality and morbidity of neonate but also a lifelong health problem. The estimated incidence of spina bifida is 1-2 cases per 1000 population. Meningomylocele soft tissue defect reconstruction is considered a lifesaving procedure , the ideal coverage technique should be time limited , reliable and allow healing line to be away from repair of the dura . all of these criteria are available in the selection of free style propeller perforator flap as a method of reconstruction.
