✦ Synopsis

Prolonged ischemia may result in tissue death because of the no-reflow phenomenon. By raising a flap 24 hours prior to subjecting it to ischemia, the authors have been able to significantly lengthen the ischemia interval prior to the onset of tissue death. These effects are believed to be the result of alteration of the no-reflow phenomenon.

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the common belief that a microvascular transfer of a non‐innervated free muscle flap loses muscle bulk over time. Sixteen patients (latissimus dorsi = 8, rectus abdominis = 7, and gracilis muscle = 1) were evaluated an average of 41 months af
