Microsurgical Flaps in Repair and Reconstruction of the Hand.

Abstract:

:The authors' strategy for soft-tissue coverage of the hand is presented. The concept of replacing like with like and reconstruction with similar adjacent tissue enhances functional and aesthetic outcomes. In this viewpoint, the pedicle perforator flap is an ideal flap. A decision-making algorithm to select an ideal flap for a particular hand defect is challenging, requiring experiential consideration of functional outcome, appearance, donor-site morbidity, and patient satisfaction. To assist surgeons in determining the most appropriate flap with more evidence, studies are necessary to compare the outcomes of each flap by evaluating hand function, aesthetics, donor site morbidity, and patient satisfaction.
