Axillary Flap

An axillary flap is a type of surgical tissue transfer used in reconstructive surgery, often after breast removal. It involves carefully moving skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the area near the armpit (axilla) to reconstruct or cover a nearby defect or excision site. This technique helps restore form and function, utilizing tissue from a location that can be safely relocated without severely impacting nearby areas. The procedure is precise and tailored to individual needs, aiming to achieve a natural appearance while maintaining blood supply to the transferred tissue.
