Abstract
Microsurgical flaps have been widely used in clinical reconstructive surger y. Although these procedures have achieved great clinical success, utilizat ion of microsurgical flap techniques have also led to a number of basic que stions that researchers must now attempt to answer. The rat has been the so urce of many flap models in these investigations. This article provides a c ondensed description of the procedures, anatomic data, and research applica tions for skin, muscle, myocutaneous, bone, osteomuscular, and osteomyocuta neous microsurgical flap models in the rat.
