Abstract
AbstractRecent progress in the field of microvascular surgery has opened the way for various types of free tissue transplantation. Surgery involving the revascularization of free tissues by microvascular anastomoses of their arteriovenous pedicle to recipient artery and vein has come to be known by the generic term “free flap surgery”. This operative procedure makes it possible to achieve one‐stage treatment of tissue defects. To date, this useful surgical procedure, has been applied to the correction of extensive burn deformities in 44 patients with good results. This paper describes the operative procedure and a few representative cases of free flap transfer. It is our conviction that free flap surgery has a bright future.
