[Transosseous route of vascular pedicles in microsurgical tissue transfer]

In cases of damaged recipient vessels or short vascular pedicles of the flaps, arteriovenous loops or long vein interposition are necessary for microsurgical defect coverage. These procedures require additional anastomoses with extended access and prolonged surgery and increase the risk of complications.The following article presents an alternative transosseous route of vascular pedicles for improved access to the recipient vessel based on three case studies.
