   What is a flap & how does it work?

   • A flap is a unit of tissue that is transferred from one site of the body (donor site) to another (recipient site) while maintaining its own blood supply. Flaps come in many different shapes and forms. They range from simple advancements of skin to composites of many different types of tissue. These composites need not consist only of soft tissue.

   What is a muscle flap?

   • For muscle flaps, an incision is marked out, allowing for the most significant access to the muscle body and associated vascular pedicle and deepened to the muscle body with or without the overlying fascia. Unnecessary perforators are clipped or cauterized, and muscle gets delaminated from the surrounding soft-tissue envelope.

   What is a local flap & a regional flap?

   • Local flap - is located next to the wound; the skin remains attached at one end in order that the blood supply is left intact. Regional flap - uses a section of tissue that is attached by a specific blood vessel. Bone/soft tissue flap - this type of flap is often used when bone and the overlying skin are transported to a new location.
