• Shock
• Wound
• Infection
• Gastric ulcer
• Hypermetabolic state
Shock
Failure of circulatory system to perfuse the peripheral
tissue adequately
• After treatment -
contractures & deformities
scar complications
growth impairment
Graft & Flap
• Graft - tissue transferred from one part to
another part without maintaining its blood
supply.
Example – skin, cartilage, bone, tendon,
nerve, vein
• Flap – tissue transferred from one part to
another part maintaining its blood supply.
Example – skin, muscle, bone,
combinations
Skin graft
Split thickness skin graft (STSG)
epidermis + part of dermis
large grafts can be transferred
healing is spontaneous
healing time – less
take / acceptance – high
Full thickness skin graft (FTSG)
epidermis + whole of dermis
small grafts only can be transferred
need to be closed (sutured)
healing time – long if not stitched
acceptance – low
Flaps
• Only skin
• Skin & deep fascia
• Muscle
• Bone
• Combinations
Flaps
• Local flaps
• Regional flaps
• Distant flaps
pedicled flaps
free flaps
Local flap
• Flaps transferred from adjacent
(neighbouring) area
• Good colour & texture match
• Easy to transfer (no postural problem)
• Within same operative area
• Limitation – Availlability, may cause functional
problem.
Various local flaps
Various local flaps
Rotation flap
Limberg flap
Perforator flap
Regional flap
• Flaps from nearby area/part
• Blood supply from different arterial source
• Does not disturb the tissue of operated part
• Minimal disturbance in form & function of
neighbouring part
• Limitation – availlability, some times
cumbersome positioning, may cause social
problem.
Forehead flap
Pectoralis Major
myo-cutaneous
flap
Delto-pectoral flap
Distant flaps ( free flaps)
• Flap artery and veins anastomosed with local
vessels
• Anastomosis done under operative microscope
• Needs technical expertise
• Flaps can be transferred to any part of the body
• Total procedure time is less
• No complex positioning required
• Large amount/piece of tissue can be transferred.
