Arterialized Venous Flaps for Reconstructing Soft‐Tissue Defects of the Extremities

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1994
Four cases of soft-tissue defects of the extremities are presented. Each defect was covered by a fasciocutaneous venous free flap in which arterial inflow relied solely on the venous pedicle.

An objective comparison regarding rate of fistula and stricture among anterolateral thigh, radial forearm, and jejunal free tissue transfers in circumferential pharyngo‐esophageal reconstruction

Microsurgery, 2015
The three commonly used free flaps for circumferential pharyngeal reconstruction after total pharyngo‐laryngectomy are the radial forearm flap (RFF), the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap, and the jejunum flap.

Lower Extremity Free Flaps for Breast Reconstruction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2017
Summary: Thigh-based flaps are typically a secondary option for breast reconstruction because of concerns regarding limited tissue volume and donor-site morbidity.

Comparing Muscle and Fasciocutaneous Free Flaps in Lower Extremity Reconstruction—Does It Matter?

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2016
IntroductionPlastic surgeons are often asked to assist with the reconstruction of lower extremity wounds. These patients many times require free tissue transfer for coverage given paucity of soft tissue.

Free-Style Local Perforator Flaps: Versatility of the V-Y Design to Reconstruct Soft-Tissue Defects in the Skin Cancer Population

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2013
Background: Free-style local perforator flaps can be harvested from any region of the body where an appropriate and detectable perforator vessel is present.

Remote Ischemic Conditioning Improves Blood Flow and Oxygen Saturation in Pedicled and Free Surgical Flaps

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2016
Background: Surgical flaps have become safe and reliable reconstructive tools, but total flap loss rates as high as 25 percent and partial flap loss rates as high as 36 percent have been reported due to insufficient perfusion.

Direct comparison of postoperative monitoring of free flaps with microdialysis, implantable cook‐swartz Doppler probe, and clinical monitoring in 20 consecutive patients

Microsurgery, 2015
There is an increasing demand for successful free tissue transfer, with postoperative monitoring of flaps a key to early salvage. Monitoring methods have ranged from clinical techniques to invasive options, of which two are particularly applicable to ...

The Use of the Free Parascapular Flap in Midpalmar Soft Tissue Defect

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1983
Clinical 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.

Survival of microvascular free flaps in mandibular reconstruction: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Microsurgery, 2015
Free tissue transfer is commonly used in the reconstruction of post‐ablative defects of the mandible. Due to lack of statistical power, comparing the survival of various free flaps, even in large studies, is challenging.

Soft tissue coverage of the hand with a free digital fillet flap

Microsurgery, 1990
AbstractA 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 ...
