Abstract:
Objective To probe the application of superimposed flaps in hand surgery. Methods Form March 1998 to December 2003, we repaired 35 cases of skin defects with non trunk blood flaps and neurocutaneous vascular flaps. The area of flaps ranged from 1cm?1cm to 6cm?8cm. Results After operation, the flaps in 33 cases survived, but died in 2 cases due to unsuitable design. The follow ups ranging from 6 to 12 months showed that the quality and color of the survived flaps were similar to those of the normal tissue around. No swelling was found. Conclusion The superimposed flaps have reliable blood supply so that they are an ideal means to repair skin defects of hand.
