[Remote flap transplantation using microvascular anastomosis for scar correction (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The method of tissue displacement from a donor region to a receiving area with the help of microvascular anastomosis represents a synthesis of the traditional classical remote flap graft and free tissue transplantation. The method of defect replenishment with the help of a freely transplanted skin-fat-connective tissue flap from the groin region (groin flap) is demonstrated by the example of a correction of a shrinking scar on the neck of a 21-year-old patient, and the anatomical basis and operation technique are described. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed.
