Free Flaps for Soft Tissue Reconstruction of Digits
Hand Clinics, 2020Soft tissue reconstruction of the digit is challenging for hand surgeons because it must satisfy both functional and aesthetic requirements. A wide variety of treatment options exist. A free flap can be an alternative solution in some clinical situations. This article has 2 purposes.

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1986
A flap of loose connective tissue based on the thoracodorsal vein and artery and lying between the latissimus dorsi and serratus lateralis can be raised and transferred as a local or free flap. This flap has been used to reconstruct the gliding mechanism in block adhesions of the flexor tendons at wrist level.

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1992
Over the last few years there have been various reports of the use of tissue expanders as an adjunct to microvascular free transfer of tissue. This study looks at the effect of expanding the actual flap prior to transfer. Two case reports are given and it is proposed that expanded free flaps are large and thin. They have a capsule which enables them to

Soft-Tissue Microvascular Free Flaps
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1994Microvascular free flaps have revolutionized the reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in the head and neck region in the last decade. In this article, the anatomy, surgical techniques, advantages, and disadvantages of a variety of flaps are discussed.

Free perivascular tissue flap transfer
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2015Local flaps and composite grafting are the procedures of choice for reconstructing relatively small soft tissue defects. However, despite their limited conveyable volume, local flaps sometimes require a wide dissection area and long new incisions. Composite grafts also have serious limitations and require a well-vascularized recipient bed.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975
A one-stage distant flap repair of a compound leg injury is discussed introducing a “free flap” transfer with vascular anastomosis as a method of primary closure. It is suggested as an alternative method to a difficult cross-leg flap or a tedious tube pedicle repair.

Tissue and Plasma Levels of Endothelin in Free Flaps
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2003The goal of the study was to assess whether endothelin-1 levels are increased in tissue and plasma in free flaps. To assess this hypothesis, blood samples were taken from the general circulation before and after reperfusion and from the flap after reperfusion in 20 patients undergoing breast reconstruction with free transverse rectus abdominis ...

Free‐Flap Monitoring with Tissue‐Oxygen Measurement
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1997Flap monitoring by oxygen measurement with a microcatheter pO2 probe was carried out in 17 free flaps. The probe represents a new development among monitoring methods, allowing the measurement of oxygen pressure in all types of flaps including buried free flaps and vascularized bone grafts. Fourteen flaps survived with no problem.

KEYSTONE ISLAND FLAP: AN ALTERNATIVE RECONSTRUCTIVE OPTION TO FREE FLAPS IN IRRADIATED TISSUE
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2006Background: The Keystone Flap is an island flap that is very useful for repairing skin defects of the integument. Described as a keystone, this arc‐shaped flap in fact consists of a schematically designed, perforator‐based reconstructive unit which serendipitously resembles two conjoined VY flaps.

Use of the Omental Free Flap for Soft-Tissue Reconstruction
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1983Omentum can be useful as a free flap for soft-tissue reconstruction in a variety of difficult wounds. Omentum was successfully used as a free flap in 11 of 15 patients. Of the 15 defects, 2 were located on the scalp, 2 on the face, 2 on the thigh, and 9 on the lower leg.
