Vessel-wall recovery after diode laser-assisted microvascular anastomosis: clinical and histologic analysis on long-term follow-up.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The aim of this study was to evaluate the esthetic and sensory outcomes after reconstruction of finger pulp defects with free toe flaps from the lateral aspect of the great toe. METHODS:From June 2006 to October 2011, we performed 48 free toe pulp transfers for finger pulp reconstruction in 43 patients; 1...
