    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Tissue Engineering
    • Experimental Pathology

    Background:

    • Skin avulsion injuries pose significant challenges in reconstructive surgery.
    • Understanding the vascular supply is critical for flap survival.
    • Crushing injuries can further compromise tissue viability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of direct cutaneous vessels in skin flap survival.
    • To assess the impact of combined avulsion and crushing injuries on flap viability.
    • To explore the translational relevance of findings to human patients.

    Main Methods:

    • An experimental model utilizing rabbits was employed.
    • Skin avulsion injuries, with and without superimposed crushing, were created.
    • The survival of skin flaps was monitored and evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Direct cutaneous vessels were found to be essential for maintaining skin flap viability.
    • The presence of a crushing injury exacerbated the negative impact on flap survival.
    • Preservation of these vessels is indicated for successful reconstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct cutaneous vessels play a vital role in the survival of skin flaps following avulsion injuries.
    • The findings have implications for surgical techniques in treating complex skin trauma.
    • Further research can optimize reconstructive strategies based on vascular anatomy.
