A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Free-style Flaps: Risk Analysis of Complications

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018
Background:. Free-style flaps allow surgeons to overcome anatomical variations and raise perforator flaps wherever a pulsatile signal can be detected. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the risk factors for complications and ...

Effects of Tissue Component Volumes on Vascular Resistance in Free Flaps [PDF]

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2016
Background A successful free flap transfer is achieved, in part, by having a thorough understanding of vascular anatomy and blood flow dynamics. We previously reported that vascular resistance differs by type of free flap. To test the hypothesis that the difference reflects the proportion of tissue components within free flaps, we calculated blood flow

Spatial and temporal patterns of bone formation in ectopically pre-fabricated, autologous cell-based engineered bone flaps in rabbits [PDF]

, 2008
Biological substitutes for autologous bone flaps could be generated by combining flap pre-fabrication and bone tissue engineering concepts. Here, we investigated the pattern of neotissue formation within large pre-fabricated engineered bone flaps in ...

Double free-flap for a bimalleolar defect of lower leg and ankle

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2016
Double free-flaps are necessary when tissue cover cannot be sufficed with a single flap. The other factors to be considered when using two free flaps for resurfacing of distal limb defects are the availability of more than one recipient vessel, the risk ...

Are Free Flaps Free Flaps?

, 2022
BACKGROUND:  Even standard microvascular tissue transfers are time consuming, require great skill and intensity, and can be stressful. Not surprisingly, work-related relative value units are considered by many microsurgeons to be suboptimal.

Where to find facial artery perforators: a reference point [PDF]

, 2010
Reconstructive surgery of the midface using facial artery perforator (FAP) flaps is being used more frequently now as it has been reported to provide better aesthetic results and reduce a traditional two-stage procedure to a one-stage technique.
