Free fasciocutaneous parascapular flap. Coverage of extensive skin and soft tissue defects

Abstract

Coverage of extensive tissue defects is one of the tasks of plastic surgery. For the surgeon there are a series of possibilities differing in safety level and difficulty. With extensively exposed bones, however, there is mostly the indication for free tissue transfer. In the following case a possibility of wound closure of an extensive defect by one single free flap without preconditioning the tissue is demonstrated.
