Free tissue transfer using microvascular techniques enhances limb salvage for tumor patients. This approach offers durable, biologically adaptive reconstruction for complex limb defects.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Limb salvage surgery in tumor patients is increasingly indicated.
  • Microvascular free tissue transfer offers advanced reconstructive options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the application of microvascular free tissue transfer in limb salvage.
  • To outline preoperative planning and specific reconstructive techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of microvascular techniques for soft tissue, skeletal, neurovascular, and composite tissue transfer.
  • Emphasis on preoperative planning for anticipated deficits.

Main Results:

  • Microvascular free tissue transfer expands limb salvage indications.
