Factors affecting the outcome of peripheral nerve surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Thrombosis is a common cause of flap failure in microvascular tissue transfer, which questions the effects of anemia on this outcome. This article seeks to contribute a large, multi-institutional data analysis to this debate. METHODS:Free tissue transfer patients were identified in the National Surgical Qua...
