Medical arm free flap

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Microsurgery
• Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

• Free microvascular transfer is a complex reconstructive technique.
• The medial arm flap is a potential source for tissue transfer.

Observation:

• This study documents the successful application of the medial arm flap for free microvascular transfer.
• The flap's utility as a neurovascular free flap was specifically examined.

Findings:

• The medial arm flap has been successfully utilized in free microvascular transfer procedures.
• Its characteristics make it suitable for transfer as a neurovascular free flap.

Implications:

• This technique expands reconstructive options for complex defects.
• Further research into the medial arm flap's applications in microsurgery is warranted.
