Flap Surgeries
What Are Flap Surgeries?
Flap surgery is a reconstructive procedure that involves the transfer of skin, muscle, or bone tissue from one part of the body to another. It is commonly used to repair defects resulting from trauma, cancer surgery, or congenital conditions.
Benefits of Flap Surgeries
- Restores Tissue Function – Replaces lost or damaged tissue for optimal function.
- Improves Aesthetics – Enhances appearance after injuries or surgeries.
- Promotes Healing – Provides healthy tissue with its own blood supply.
- Reduces Risk of Infection – Protects wounds and accelerates recovery.
Types of Flap Surgeries
- Local Flap – Uses tissue near the defect for reconstruction.
- Regional Flap – Moves tissue from a nearby area with an attached blood supply.
- Free Flap – Transfers tissue from a distant site with microsurgical reattachment.
- Musculocutaneous Flap – Includes muscle tissue for added structural support.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients requiring reconstructive surgery after tumor removal.
- Individuals with large wounds or severe trauma.
- Those seeking functional and cosmetic improvements.
- Individuals in good overall health for surgery and recovery.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from flap surgery varies depending on the type of flap used and the surgical site. Proper wound care, avoiding strenuous activity, and attending follow-up visits are essential for healing and long-term success.
