Bipedicle flaps: simple solutions for difficult problems in the extremities.

Bipedicle flaps have been used to provide good quality soft tissue cover for defects in many anatomical sites. The indications for the use of this flap have not been well defined and with the advent of more complex modes of tissue transfer this simple technique is often overlooked. We have found it to be a safe and expedient method of providing cover for difficult defects on the extremities. We present a series of 9 flaps raised on 7 patients over a 12-month period and discuss the indications and refinements in flap design.

Thromboembolic prophylaxis in plastic surgery: an appraisal.

A survey by questionnaire was conducted amongst consultant plastic surgeons in the UK: 54 replies were received (44% response rate). Three consultants (5.5%) never used any form of DVT prophylaxis. The other 51 (94%) used some form of prophylaxis in at-risk patients. The methods used were found to be diverse. Ten respondents belonged to units with fixed policies for prophylaxis. A controlled trial is suggested to provide statistical evidence of the need for thromboembolic prophylaxis among plastic surgical patients. We believe there is a need for units to develop fixed protocols for the prevention of thromboembolism in at-risk patients.
