The ideal reconstruction of lower limb defects should replace like with like and minimize
morbidity to the donor site, achieving the best possible esthetic and functional outcome. The …

Extended knowledge of vascular anatomy has propagated the development of perforator
flaps, which preserve muscle function and reduce morbidity. This has been achieved …

Background: Keystone flaps have demonstrated growing clinical applications in
reconstructive surgery in the past decade. This article highlights flap modifications and their …

Abstract Development of blood flow distribution criteria is a mandatory step toward
developing computational models and numerical simulations of the systemic circulation. In …

Hand aesthetics in general and aesthetic refinements of soft-tissue coverage of the hand in
particular have been increasingly considered over the past few years. Advancements of …

The purpose of this article is to comprehensively review the topic of local flaps. Local flaps
are those that are elevated nearby and then transferred to an adjacent wound. Options …

Complex genitourinary injuries—associated with lower-extremity amputation as well as
pelvic and abdominal wounding—have emerged as common occurrences in current military …

A distributed-parameter (one-dimensional) anatomically detailed model for the arterial
network of the arm is developed in order to carry out hemodynamics simulations. This work …

Background Tip necrosis in the perforator flap is a significant problem in clinical practice.
This study aimed to characterize the vasculature of a multiterritory perforator flap using a rat …

In this work, a computational procedure is proposed to vascularize anatomical regions
supplied by many inflow sites. The proposed methodology creates a partition of the territory …
