Flap Surgery for Wound Coverage

Flap surgery is a type of procedure used to cover wounds or injuries, particularly when they are too large or complex to heal on their own. During the surgery, a section of healthy skin and tissue (the "flap") is moved from another part of the body to the wounded area. This helps protect the wound and promotes healing by providing fresh blood supply and skin. Flap surgery is often used for serious injuries, surgical sites, or when other methods, like skin grafts, aren’t suitable. The goal is to restore function and improve appearance while minimizing complications.
