Abstract: The treatment of lower limb tumours has been shifted from limb amputation to limb salvage by advancements in adjuvant treatment protocols and microsurgical reconstruction. Standard approaches include oncological surgery by a multidisciplinary team in terms of limb sparing followed by soft tissue reconstruction and adjuvant therapy when indicated. For the development of a comprehensive surgical plan, the identity of the tumour should first be determined by histology after biopsy. Then the surgical goal and comprehensive treatment concept should be developed by a multidisciplinary tumour board and combined with soft tissue reconstruction. In this article, we present the reconstruction of soft tissue of lower third of the leg with free groin flap after oncological resection of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
