Prospective evaluation of outcome measures in free-flap surgery.

abstract：:Abdominal flaps have recently gained considerable popularity in breast reconstruction, and their importance and advantages have been widely accepted. Given the unreliability of the distal parts in these flaps and the advancement of microsurgery, many modifications and improvements have been made. To get a better under...
