    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Free flap surgery is a complex reconstructive procedure.
    • Over three years, 24 free flap cases were analyzed.

    Observation:

    • Initial cases focused on aesthetic indications for smaller flaps.
    • Recent cases prioritized functional requirements, utilizing longer vascular pedicles and compound flaps, including bone.

    Findings:

    • The overall success rate for free flap surgery was 79% (19 out of 24 cases).
    • A shift towards functionally indicated cases with complex flap designs was observed.

    Implications:

    • Proper case selection is crucial for successful microvascular reconstructive surgery.
  • This surgical technique demonstrates potential for significant societal cost savings and improved patient outcomes.
