A Model of Free Tissue Transfer: The Rat Epigastric Free Flap [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2017
Free tissue transfer has been increasingly used in clinical practice since the 1970s, allowing reconstruction of complex and otherwise untreatable defects resulting from tumor extirpation, trauma, infections, malformations or burns. Free flaps are particularly useful for reconstructing highly complex anatomical regions, like those of the head and neck,
