An interventional study of Freestyle pedicled perforators propellers flaps for meningomyelocele defects in Meningocele and Meningomyelocele, sponsored by Assiut University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 1 Day to 6 Months. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-12.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
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.
56 studies on the registry are indexed under Meningomyelocele; 14 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is above the median of 35 across 39 interventional studies indexed under Meningomyelocele.
