Secondary microsurgical repair was performed after the VSD was removed. The lost of median and ulnar nerves was repaired with transplantation of sural nerve,and the wound was repaired with free flaps and complex tissue flaps. Results Eleven cases were treated with vacuum sealing drainage for 7 to 10 days.Infections were under control,wound areas reduced and most wound areas were covered by granulation tissues.Flaps and skin grafts were survived.After postoperative follow-up for 3 to 36 months (average 13 months),three cases was received flexor tendolysis.As result,the blood circulation of hand was good, the sensor of injured nerve was higher than S3, and there was a good functional rehabilitation of hand muscles. Conclusion Using vacuum sealing drainage after emergency debridement and tissue repair, there was a good repairing effect of secondary repair with flaps and skin grafts for severe complicated tissue defect in palmar forearm and wrist,and it is an effective choice of operation.
