Abstract

This paper presents 14 cases of primary reconstruction of radial‐part hand defect by combined free‐tissue transfer. The thumb was reconstructed by wraparound flap or second‐toe transfer, while a lateral upper‐arm flap or anterolateral thigh flap was transferred to cover the soft‐tissue defect of the radial part of the hand. The arteries of the toe and flap were anastomosed and cascaded with the radial artery in an anatomical “snuffbox.” Fourteen toes and 13 flaps survived in 14 cases. Only one flap was lost. Two‐point discrimination of thumb tips was between 4–8 mm. The results suggest that combined free‐tissue transfer appears to be a promising way of reconstructing a defect of the radial part of the hand. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract __Introduction:__ Currently, free‐tissue transfers are commonly used for various reconstructive purposes in adults. However, there is a lack of large series of free flap reconstruction in children, especially for reconstruction of oromandibular defects. Our study aims to share our exper

Free tissue transfer was used for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects in 94 children. Of the 127 procedures performed, the latissimus dorsi, scapular skin, lateral arm skin, rectus abdominis, and gracilis were used with the greatest frequency. The microsurgical success rate was 96%.

Approximately 10% of free tissue transfers fail because of thrombosis of the arterial or venous anastomoses. Postoperative monitoring to allow early detection of impaired flap perfusion is crucial, especially in head and neck reconstruction, in which failure of a free flap may be associated with sig

Twenty-one cases of skin defects of the hand were treated with venous flaps. According to type, nine flaps were arterialised flaps (A-A), five were (A-V), and seven were (V-V) type. Venous flaps can be used up to 8 x 3 cm in size or even bigger if the number of veins anastomosed is increased. The ma
