A training model for the stereomicroscopic evaluation of flap survival
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery
|April 1, 1987
Abstract:
The stereomicroscopic appearance of the vasculature and circulation of groin flaps, with their epigastric pedicles divided at various time intervals, is an early diagnostic indication of flap viability. A simple and comprehensive training model, with characteristic vascular and flow changes within a single flap, is provided in rats, with pedicles transected at three to four days after the flap is raised.
