Abstract:
Neovascularization of tissues into which a vascular pedicle has been implanted can result in the creation of a flap, or free flap, which is supported by those vessels as a neopedicle. This phenomenon allows the construction of customized prefabricated free flaps from tissue without restriction to naturally occurring vascular territories.
