Abstract:
The authors describe a technique in which a microsurgical anastomosis between an artery and a vein in an afferent direction (through a vein graft, when necessary) of a degloved flap is used to revascularize or arterialize the flap. In 3 difficult cases, there was substantial salvage of flap tissue.
