Microsurgical techniques in experimental lymphedema of the rabbit ear.

One of the main obstacles to the study of changes occurring in lymphedema and the effects of various therapeutic modalities has been the lack of a reproducible inexpensive experimental model. We believe that the rabbit ear model satisfies this requirement permitting both evaluation of changes which lead to development of lymphedema as well as evaluation of the efficacy of microsurgical techniques.

Sensory skin flaps for coverage of pressure sores in paraplegic patients. A preliminary report.

Sensory skin flaps represent a possible solution for the paraplegic who has the problem of recurrent pressure sores. An intercostal neurovascular island flap has been used in 3 cases to provide coverage for sacral ulcers. Sensation was retained to a variable degree in both adults and children. An attempt at coverage of an ischial ulcer with an intercostal neurovascular free flap is also reported. The practical and theoretical aspects of these procedures are discussed.

The deltopectoral flap: an anatomical and hemodynamic approach.

An anatomical and hemodynamic study of the deltopectoral flap in cadaver dissections and clinical cases is described. Anatomically, the deltopectoral flap represents a fusion of 3 vascular regions supplied by 3 different sets of vessels. Hemodynamically, the flap consists of a lateral cutaneous flap nourished by a medial arterial pedicle. The method of choice for delay of a deltopectoral flap is discussed.
