Reconstruction of Difficult Wounds With Tissue-Expanded Free Flaps
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2004Tissue expansion of free flaps before transfer have been used to increase the size of the transferred tissue and to allow primary closure of the donor site. This is especially important in burns when there is a lack of healthy tissue, and in children when there is a relative lack of tissue.

FREE FLAPS FOR SOFT TISSUE COVERAGE IN THE HAND AND FINGERS
Hand Clinics, 1999With mastery of conventional methods, free flaps are indicated in selected cases for coverage of the hand and fingers. Careful preoperative planning, delicate intraoperative management, and postoperative physiotherapy are the mainstays for success in functional recovery and aesthetic result.

Microvascular Free Flaps for Soft-Tissue Defects
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1991Included in this discussion of microvascular free flaps for soft-tissue defects is an examination of the oral and pharyngeal lining, the epithelial-line conduit between the oropharynx and esophagus, skull-base defects, total glossectomy defect, facial augmentation, external skin coverage, and muscle transfer.

Soft tissue coverage of the hand with a free digital fillet flap
Microsurgery, 1990AbstractA free digital fillet flap was used to achieve soft tissue coverage of the ulnar border of the hand in a 38 year old man with an industrial fan blade injury to the dominant hand. The use of a digital fillet flap from an unsalvageable ring finger allowed for a one‐stage procedure avoiding donor site morbidity or need for additional ...

Role of Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Free Flap Salvage
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2006The use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) in microvascular surgery has been previously reported, but no consensus exists regarding its indications, dose, efficacy, or safety. The records of all patients undergoing free tissue transfer at one institution between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed.

The Use of the Free Parascapular Flap in Midpalmar Soft Tissue Defect
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1983Clinical applications of a new free flap are presented. The parascapular flap is a cutaneous unit whose blood supply is provided by a posterior branch of the inferior scapular artery. It is a safe and relatively large flap (approximately 8 by 12 cm or more) with a constant pedicle. It has no sensory nerve. The donor site is easy to close directly.

Free Vascularized Soft Tissue Flaps for Coverage of the Foot and Ankle
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1995Microsurgical procedures for coverage of foot and ankle defects now are undertaken with a better understanding of biomechanical requirements, and concern for durability, aesthetics, donor site morbidity, and shoe fit. Well-contoured muscle flaps including the latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis, and gracilis muscles frequently are used along with thin ...

Monitoring microvascular free flaps with tissue oxygen measurement and pet
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2008Tissue oxygen measurement and positron emission tomography (PET) were evaluated as methods for predicting ischemia in microvascular free flaps of the head and neck. Ten patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer underwent resection of the tumour followed by microvascular reconstruction with a free flap.
