Vascularized Flaps

Vascularized flaps are pieces of tissue moved from one part of the body to another to repair or reconstruct damaged areas. What makes them special is that these flaps include their own blood vessels, which are connected to the recipient site. This helps ensure the tissue has a stable blood supply, promoting better healing and integration. Vascularized flaps are often used in complex surgeries, such as wound coverage, limb salvage, or reconstructing after cancer removal, because their built-in blood flow increases the chances of successful healing and tissue survival.
