Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Expanded distant skin flaps are crucial for reconstructing defects where local tissue is insufficient.
  • This study reviews outcomes of 102 patients undergoing expanded distant skin flap transfer.
  • Assessing the efficacy of expanded distant skin flaps in complex reconstructive scenarios.

Framework:

  • The study employed a retrospective review of 102 patients.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, defect characteristics, and flap outcomes.
  • Follow-up assessments evaluated flap viability, aesthetic results, and functional recovery.

Implementation:

  • Expanded distant skin flaps were utilized for various reconstructive needs, including trauma and oncological defects.

  • Flaps were transferred directly as pedicled or island flaps, or indirectly via intermediary carriers or free transfer.
  • Surgical techniques were adapted based on defect size, location, and patient-specific factors.

    • Implications:

    • Expanded distant skin flaps demonstrate significant advantages and broad indications in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
    • The versatility in transfer methods (direct, indirect, free) enhances their applicability.
    • These findings support the recommendation of expanded distant skin flaps for complex reconstructive challenges.
