ABSTRACT
The main nutrient vessel of the anterolateral thigh flap is the perforator originating from the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery [LCFA].it supplies a large area of skin on the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. We report here a case of wide inguinoscrotoperineal defect in a young male patient following a post necrotizing fascitis defect which was covered by a pedicled anterolateral thigh flap. The result was satisfactory. The anterolateral thigh flap has the advantage of a long vascular pedicle, large caliber vessels, availability of large skin flap area, and is also suitable as a pedicle, free or flow through flap
