✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Complications and unsatisfactory results in the microsurgical reconstruction of lower extremities were reviewed in a chronological sequence. Perioperative complications were grouped into the following categories: improper patient or donor tissue selection, unsatisfactory choice of recipient site vessels, inadequate exposure of recipient site vessels, improper „insetting”︁ of the free tissue transfer, extralumenal obstruction, and miscellaneous adverse factors. Vascular changes in the limb as a result of free tissue transfer are discussed. Discussion of late postoperative problems includes the long‐term results of soft tissue and skeletal reconstruction. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss Inc.

Over a four year period, thirteen patients over the age of 60 (mean 69 years) underwent reconstruction of lower extremity defects with free tissue transfers. Ten latissimus dorsi, one tensor facia lata, and two rectus abdominus free flaps were used. Despite significant risk factors which included pr
