ABSTRACT

Consistently good results following free-tissue transfers require not only basic skills in small vessel anastomosis, but also the implementation of numerous adjunctive measures. The pioneers in microsurgery have shared many of their hard-learned lessons and clinical nuggets through texts, papers, and seminars. This article presents an assemblage of adjunctive measures of proven utility.
