## Abstract The potential for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) to decrease the untoward effects of a secondary ischemic event was studied in the rat superficial epigastric flap model. The secondary venous ischemic flap was created by crossβclamping the vascular pedicles for 2 h. Twentyβfour hours la

The effect of allopurinol, superoxide-dismutase, and hyperbaric oxygen was compared on axial pattern skin flap survival. An abdominal flap based on the inferior epigastric pedicle was raised in rats for this purpose. Three experimental groups were studied. In the first group, adult male Wistar rats
## Abstract A case is presented in which a myocutaneous free flap survived with only superficial marginal necrosis after being subjected to 15 hours of ischemia. The role of hypothermia and perfusion in preserving the flap are discussed.
## Abstract We have previously reported that hyberbaric oxygen (HBO) improved the survival rate of experimental free flaps. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of combined hypothermia and HBO administered during storage on free flaps and on the xanthine oxidase system in rats. Epi
