Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open, 2016 Based on his clinical observations the "red dot sign" and hyperemic flare, Behan has advocated the superior vascularity of the island flap design for at least 2 decades. The aim of this study was to determine whether (1) surgical islanding of a flap alters the vascularity or blood supply of the flap and (2) these changes in blood supply explain Behan's
