## Abstract Reconstruction of the foot using microvascular flaps has been widely performed in the last 15 years but the choice of flap to repair some areas in the foot remains controversial. We present a series of 128 free flaps to the foot performed during the period of 1975β1990. One hundred and
## Abstract __Background:__ Microscopeβintegrated indocyanine green nearβinfrared videoangiography (ICGA) is a new method for the intraoperative assessment of vascular flow through microvascular anastomoses. The intrinsic transit time (ITT) describes the time period from the dye appears at the arte
## Abstract Free groin flaps taken from rats were preserved by refrigeration at 4Β°C in either lactated Ringers solution or tissue culture medium for various periods of time. The results indicate that a high survival rate can be expected at periods up to 72 hours, but there was no success in preserv
