DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2018.07.049
Abstract: Background: Skin flap‐like wounds are common. These wound flaps are prone to avascular necrosis with simple debrided and sutured, and postoperative hyperplastic scarring and contracture of wound surfaces can adversely affect the patient's appearance. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-1939-5606
Abstract: Abstract Background Designing a skin flap that perfectly covers the anatomical and dynamic territories is challenging. Tissues capturing territories beyond may be insufficiently perfused, and these hypoperfused areas can lead to partial flap necrosis. Indocyanine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000008983
Abstract: Background: Mastectomy skin flap necrosis following breast reconstruction may lead to wound dehiscence, infection, implant exposure, and reconstructive failure. The absence of a standardized definition for it has led to variation in estimated incidence, from… read more here.

Analysis of the Risk Factors for Free Flap Necrosis in Soft Tissue Reconstruction of the Lower Limbs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Orthopaedic Surgery"
DOI: 10.1111/os.13727
Abstract: Free flaps are widely used for the repair of soft tissue defects in the lower limbs, but there is still a specific rate of necrosis. Few clinical retrospective studies have analyzed the nontechnical risk factors… read more here.
