چکیده
Sarday, M ay 6, 2017 moyamoya disease (6). Flaps included flow through radial forearm fasciocutaneous flaps (2), a flow through radial forearm fascial flap (1) and flow through pedicled temporoparietal fascial flaps (4). The superficial temporal vessels (6) and facial vessels (1) were used as the recipient site pedicle. Flow through reperfusion was established into the middle cerebral artery (5) and anterior communicating artery (2). There were no intraoperative complications. All flaps survived and there were no donor site complications. Postoperative imaging demonstrated graft patency in 6/7 patients. In one case of flow through TPF flap, the direct graft failed, but the indirect flap remained vascularized.

Abstract 103: A Single Institutional Analysis of 5,000 Flaps: An Evaluation of Microsurgical Free Flap Salvage Predictors and Take-Backs Following Microvascular Compromise
METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted for all breast, head/neck, and lower extremity free flaps performed at a single-institution between 2005–2015. The primary endpoint, successful salvage, was defined as any flap that did not result in complete flap loss. Univariate analysis was performed using Chi-squared, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and Fisher’s exact test. Lastly, a multivariate logis...
متن کاملThe efficacy of clinical assessment in the postoperative monitoring of free flaps: a review of 1140 consecutive cases.
BACKGROUND Effective postoperative monitoring of the vascular pedicle to a free flap can potentiate rapid return to the operating room in the setting of compromise, allowing for the potential to salvage the flap. The only ubiquitous method for postoperative monitoring of free flaps is clinical bedside monitoring, but although the use of clinical monitoring may be inferred in large reported seri...
متن کاملAbstract: Soft Tissue Reconstruction and Salvage of Infected Fixation Hardware in Lower Extremity Trauma
BACKGROUND Tibial fracture management may be complicated by infection of internal fixation hardware (iIFH) resulting in increased morbidity and amputation rate. When iIFH removal is not possible, salvage of the lower extremity is attempted through debridement, antibiotics, and vascularized soft tissue coverage. This study investigates lower extremity salvage with retention of iIFH. METHODS De...

Abstract The leg is a complex district with functions of weightbearing support, stability, and motility. The management of extensive and complex defects is more challenging and often results in leg amputation or shortening. Leg amputation is a severe mutilation that alters the patient’s work and social life by limiting ambulation and self-sufficiency. During a 3 years period we trea...
