Post-Operative Radiotherapy for Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Anterior Compartment of the Thigh: Should the Sartorius Muscle be Included?
Sarcoma, 2005Co-Authors: Gillian C. Barnett, Sarah Jefferies, A.c.f. Hoole, N. Twyman, Neil G. BurnetAbstract:Purpose: The clinical target volume (CTV) of post-operative radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma of the limbs conventionally includes the whole of the transverse cross-section of the affected anatomical compartment. In the anterior thigh Sartorius appears to lie within its own fascial compartment and can be safely excluded. We investigated the potential impact of omitting Sartorius from the anterior muscle compartment on patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh.

The Anatomy of Sartorius Muscle and its Implications for Sarcoma Radiotherapy
Sarcoma, 2004Co-Authors: Neil G. Burnet, Tom Bennett-britton, A.c.f. Hoole, Sarah Jefferies, Ian G. ParkinAbstract:Purpose: Controversy exists as to whether Sartorius muscle is completely invested in fascia. If it is, then direct tumour involvement from soft tissue sarcoma of the anterior thigh would be unlikely and would justify omitting Sartorius from the radiotherapy volume.

The Sartorius muscle flap: an important adjunct for complicated femoral wounds involving vascular grafts.
American journal of surgery, 2009Co-Authors: Gregory J. Landry, Jessica R. Carlson, Timothy K. Liem, Erica L. Mitchell, James M. Edwards, Gregory L. MonetaAbstract:Abstract Introduction Femoral wound complications can threaten vascular grafts. Muscle flaps can be used to facilitate soft-tissue coverage and graft salvage. We report a series of Sartorius flaps performed by vascular surgeons in the treatment of complicated femoral wounds. Methods Rotational Sartorius flaps were performed to attempt salvage of underlying vascular grafts. We reviewed a prospective database to determine the outcomes of Sartorius flaps on facilitating wound healing and graft salvage and patency. Results From 2005 to 2008, 21 Sartorius flaps were performed in infected or threatened femoral wounds. Original operations included femoral endarterectomy with patch repair in 8, aortofemoral graft in 6, axillofemoral graft in 4, and femoral-distal bypass in 3 patients. Complete wound healing occurred in 18 patients (86%). Primary wound closure was achieved in 7 patients. Secondary wound closure was achieved in 11 patients with mean healing time of 2.3 months. All vascular reconstructions remained patent at the 9.5-month follow-up. Conclusions Sartorius muscle flaps are effective at facilitating complicated femoral wound healing while maintaining graft salvage and patency.
