Flap Surgery Techniques
Flap surgery involves using a section of living tissue, including skin, muscle, and blood vessels, moved from one part of the body to repair or reconstruct an area with damage or missing tissue. The tissue remains connected to its original blood supply, ensuring it continues to receive nutrients and oxygen. This technique is often used in complex wounds, trauma, or cancer repairs to promote healing, restore function, and improve appearance. By transferring well-vascularized tissue, flap surgery helps ensure successful healing in challenging cases where simple wound closure isn't sufficient.
