Free Flap Reexploration: Indications, Treatment, and Outcomes in 1193 Free Flaps
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2007Microvascular free tissue transfer is a reliable method for reconstruction of complex surgical defects. However, there is still a small risk of flap compromise necessitating urgent reexploration. A comprehensive study examining the causes and methods of avoiding or treating these complications has not been performed.

Morphometric study of the scapular free flap and the free rib osteomyocutaneous flap
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2014The scapula free flap is often the first choice for reconstruction of bony defects of the facial skeleton. However, the vascularised rib as part of a free rib osteomyocutaneous flap may be a suitable second choice. We have investigated the morphology and clinical dimensions of the 7th rib and the scapula, and the ability of the available bone to carry ...

The Free Iliac Flap A Lateral Modification of the Free Groin Flap
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1979A lateral modification of the free groin flap, called the free iliac flap, is presented. By moving the outline of the free groin flap laterally, so that the medial margin lies lateral to the underlying femoral triangle, a flap is obtained which is uniformly slender and which has a long vascular pedicle.

Free flap microcirculatory monitoring correlates to free flap temperature assessment
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2011Salvage rates of free flaps have been reported to be inversely related to the time interval between the onset of ischaemia and its clinical recognition. Consecutively, monitoring of free flaps remains of major importance. The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation of postoperative free flap microcirculation and free flap skin temperature as a

Choice of Flap and Incidence of Free Flap Success
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1996A review of 854 consecutive free flaps was performed to determine whether the choice of flap used for the reconstruction influenced the probability of a successful outcome. Flaps were grouped into nine categories: rectus abdominis, free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous, radial forearm, jejunum, latissimus dorsi, fibula, scapula, iliac crest ...

Supraclavicular flap repair in the free flap era
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2017BackgroundSupraclavicular flap (SCF) repair is widely reported in head and neck surgery in select patients and defects. The authors’ objective is to present our series of 30 patients who underwent SCF repair for varying defects and to review the scope and outcome of SCF repair in the literature.MethodsThe authors contributed primary evidence of 30 ...

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1992
Four patients with free tissue transfer using ascending cutaneous branches of circumflex scapular vessels are herein presented. The free ascending scapular flap is located on the superior vertical axis, differentiated with the scapular flap horizontally and the parascapular flap vertically designed.

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1974
Abstract Six free deltopectoral skin flaps have been successfully transplanted. This free flap provides a large amount of good quality hairless skin for reconstruction of the face. It has many advantages over conventional pedicle flaps; for example shorter hospitalisation, no fixation of the operated area and emergency cover of a defect.

Free flap transplantation in mice
Microsurgery, 1998A new model is presented that adapts the standard experimental groin free flap model to the mouse. The femoral vessels upon which the microvascular anastomoses are based are very small (0.2-0.4 mm diameter in the artery), making this a technically challenging exercise. A 100% patency was achieved for flap replantation in ICR (outbred) mice.

Liposuction for Debulking Free Flaps
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1986Suction-assisted lipectomy is a useful adjunct technique that allows the microsurgeon to debulk composite tissue transfers safely, without fear of compromising flap viability. The functional and aesthetic results of free flaps can often be enhanced in a single stage, which may not be possible using other conventional procedures.
