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.

Microvascular Free Groin Flap for Soft-tissue Coverage of the Extremities
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1980Six cases of microvascular free flap, composite tissue transfer are presented. The advantages of utilizing this modality of tissue coverage are that it is a direct one-stage procedure which, in experienced hands and using a two-team approach, can solve complex reconstructive problems with a minimal hospital stay and minimal morbidity.

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.

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1995
Free flap failure is frequently due to tension, twisting, kinking, or compression of the vascular pedicle after the anastomosis is completed. A rabbit model simulating these errors was used to evaluate the capacity of topically-applied tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) to prevent microvascular thrombosis. The rabbit ear was isolated on the central

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 ...

Microvascular Free Flaps in Soft-Tissue Augmentation of the Head and Neck
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1986The disadvantage of traditional methods for reconstruction of soft-tissue deficits providing symmetric restoration of head and neck contour are the need for multiple stages in the case of pedicle flaps and the unpredictable atrophy and resorption in the case of free nonvascularized dermis-fat grafts. In addition, unsightly donor defects may be an added

Customized Soft Tissue Free Flaps in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North AmericaThe integration of imaging technologies such as computed tomography angiography and color Doppler ultrasonography are transforming soft tissue free flap reconstruction. The search for thinner and more refined flaps has expanded indications for flaps harvested from donor sites that were not commonly used in head and neck reconstruction.

Review of the free scapular flap: a versatile flap for most osteocutaneous tissue defects
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2001Although there is little doubt that the scapular flap is a versatile flap that is suitable for most tissue defects, it has failed to gain its proper place in the reconstructive armamentarium. This may be due to the perceived donor site morbidity. However, many published articles have shown that the donor site morbidity is limited and acceptable.
