    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Muscle flap transfers are a reconstructive technique.
    • Evaluating outcomes of these procedures is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of muscle flap transfers.
    • To analyze complications and results of 100 cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 100 muscle flap transfers.
    • Analysis of defect types, muscles used, complications, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Muscle flaps demonstrated versatility in covering diverse soft tissue and bony defects.
    • A low complication rate was observed despite defect severity.
    • 92% of patients achieved initial healing, with 82% maintaining healed status.

    Conclusions:

    • Muscle flap transfers are a reliable and versatile option for complex reconstructive challenges.
    • The procedure offers a favorable outcome with high long-term healing rates.
