Figure 3. The elevation of the SCIP flap and the transplantation to the breast region. A 25 cm × 4 cm fasciocutaneous SCIP flap including the efferent LC, the lymph node, and the peripheral afferent LC was elevated. The efferent LC in this flap was anastomosed to an internal mammary collecting lymphatic vessel. Postoperatively, ICG lymphography showed a lymph node of the transferred flap. ICG: indocyanine green; LC: lymphatic channel; SCIP: superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator.
