Hand surgeons can now perform single-stage digital defect reconstruction using various island flap transfers. A better understanding of vascular anatomy and flap perfusion enables these advanced surgical techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Digital defects in the hand present reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional methods may require multiple stages, increasing morbidity.
  • Advances in understanding vascular anatomy are crucial for surgical innovation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of island flap transfers for single-stage hand reconstruction.
  • To detail the techniques for various island flap applications in digital defects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of vascular anatomy of the hand.
  • Analysis of flap perfusion characteristics.
  • Presentation of surgical techniques for over 20 distinct island flaps.

Main Results:
