## Abstract The fluorescein test is widely used in clinical and experimental studies for prediction of the viability of skin flaps. A thorough search of the literature revealed that the accuracy of this test had never been studied. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of the

Abstract
One of the most difficult tasks facing the reconstructive surgeon is the successful transfer of skin flaps. Despite recent dramatic advances in the application of skin flaps and despite the skill and experience of the surgeon, flaps still fail. This review discusses the methods regarded as most accurate in assessing skin flap viability, and the techniques used to augment flap survival.

## Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of helium-neon (he-ne) laser random skin flap viability in rats. ## Study design/materials and methods: Experimentally controlled randomized study. forty-eight wistar-epm rats were used, weighed, and divided into 4
## Abstract __Purpose:__ Although surgical delay phenomenon has been widely investigated, its pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. __Methods:__ In 25 SpraqueβDawley rats, an 8 Γ 8 cm^2^ epigastric skin flap consisting of 4 vertical zones A through D (farthest from vascular pedicle) was ou
An experimental flap model is presented utilizing the common laboratory rat. This flap allows the study of intraarterial infusion of pharmacological agents and their effect on the skin.
