Flap repair
Flap repair is a surgical procedure used to fix tissue damage, such as wounds or defects. It involves transferring healthy tissue, along with its blood supply, from one part of the body to another to promote healing and restore function. The "flap" of tissue is carefully positioned and secured in the damaged area, providing better blood flow and nutrients than simple stitches or grafts. This technique helps tissues heal more effectively, especially in complex or challenging cases, and is commonly used in reconstructive surgeries for wounds, burns, or after tumor removals.
