How Flap/Graft Reconstruction is performed
After assessing the size and depth of the wound and the blood supply of the recipient area, common practices include selecting local flap transfer or autologous skin grafting, with tension-reducing sutures, subcutaneous tunnels, or negative pressure assistance as needed. The wound edges are trimmed intraoperatively to ensure tension-free coverage and reliable blood supply, while considering function and aesthetics. Postoperative observation focuses on flap color and temperature, skin graft exudation and fixation, with dressing changes as needed, with the goal of restoring coverage and shape and promoting healing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
