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.

Free Flap Donor Site Refinement Using Tissue Expansion
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1988Posttransfer tissue expansion has been used to negate concern for the aesthetic donor site deformity following 15 free tissue transfers involving donor sites of the scalp, trunk, and extremities. There appears to be no contraindication to placing these implants immediately, as was done in 87% of cases, although it is recommended that expansion be ...

Anterolateral Thigh Flap: Ideal Free Flap Choice for Lower Extremity Soft-Tissue Reconstruction
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2003This article presents the authors' experience with the anterolateral thigh free flap for lower extremity reconstruction. Twenty-one consecutive anterolateral thigh flaps were transferred for reconstruction of soft-tissue defects of the lower extremity from March 2000 to May 2002. Total flap survival was 90.5 percent, with two partial failures.

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.

Free Flap Coverage of Deep Tissue Defects of the Foot
Foot & Ankle, 1982This is a review of seven cutaneous or myocutaneous free flaps performed at the Duke University Medical Center for coverage of foot defects. The average follow-up is 19.3 months. The average anesthetic time was 7 h and 45 min. The average length of hospitalization was 14.1 days. There were no failures.

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.

Flap Failure after Microvascular Free-Tissue Transfer
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1990In most cases, the loss of a free-tissue transfer is a disaster for both the patient and the surgeon. Seven patients received a second microvascular free-tissue transfer after loss of the first. The indications for free-tissue transfer included chronic osteomyelitis of the lower leg (four patients), acute traumatic defect of the leg (one patient ...

Tissue-Expanded Radial Forearm Free Flap in Neck Burn Contracture
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1990Neck contracture after burn injury can result in severe functional as well as aesthetic deformities. Contracture can recur even after wide and complete release and full-thickness skin grafting. Recurrence is partly due to the inherent difficulties in both early postoperative immobilization and the required long-term splinting. When adjacent tissues are

Anterolateral Thigh Free Flap for Complex Soft Tissue Hand Reconstructions
Journal of Hand Surgery, 2003The anterolateral thigh free flap is described in terms of its surgical anatomy, techniques of elevation and its application in seven cases of trauma to the hand. The particular advantages of this free flap for reconstructing a variety of hand defects are demonstrated. Flap refinements that have potential applications for hand surgery are described.

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.
