Ten free flap transfers: use of intra-arterial dye injection to outline a flap exactly.
Ten free skin flap transfers, with microvascular anastomose, were performed by our service since July 4, 1973. The donor site most frequently used for this purpose was the groin flap. In one case a free auxillary flap based on the external mammary artery was used. We discuss the advantages of using an intra-arterial injection of patent-blue dye to outline the maximal area supplied by the donor site vessels.

Hypopharyngeal reconstruction with the radial forearm flap.
The radial forearm flap is a well-vascularized fasciocutaneous free flap, transferred on the radial artery and vein. In cases of partial hypopharyngectomy, tracheo-esophageal fistulas and hypopharyngeal stenosis it may be difficult to accommodate the bulk of a myocutaneous flap without interfering with pharyngeal function. The thin, pliable nature of the forearm skin is ideally suited to replace hypopharyngeal mucosa. The result is a thin-walled pharynx.

Cleavage rate of embryos in the rabbit oviduct following tubal surgery.
The effect of tubal surgery upon early embryonic development in the rabbit oviduct was studied. Resection-reanastomosis was performed applying microsurgical techniques. Embryonic cleavage stages were recorded in the surgically altered oviduct, in the contralateral nonoperated tube, and in the tubes of nonoperated control animals. Higher cleavage rates were found in the operated animals compared with nonoperated controls. Early embryonic development was enhanced in both the operated tube and the contralateral nonoperated tube. These findings suggest an embryonic cleavage promoting factor to be active in the operated animals. This factor seems to affect not only the operated tube, but the contralateral control tube as well.
