The Use of Harmonic Scalpel for Free Flap Dissection in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery [PDF]

, 2012
Surgeons conventionally use electrocautery dissection and surgical clip appliers to harvest free flaps. The ultrasonic Harmonic Scalpel is a new surgical instrument that provides high-quality dissection and hemostasis and minimizes tissue injury. The aim

Soft tissue reconstruction after pelvic amputation: The efficacy and reliability of free fillet flap reconstruction [PDF]

, 2021
Background: The majority of hindquarter amputation defects can be reconstructed with local anterior or posterior thigh flaps. Less than 5% of soft tissue defects require free flap reconstruction after tumour resection.
