Local and regional flap reconstruction is a surgical technique used to repair and restore tissues after tumor removal or trauma, especially in the head and neck region.
Local and regional flap reconstruction is a surgical technique used to repair and restore tissues after tumor removal or trauma, especially in the head and neck region. In this procedure, tissue (skin, muscle, or both) is transferred from a nearby area to cover the defect while maintaining its original blood supply.
This method helps restore function, appearance, and structural integrity after cancer surgery or injury.
Flap reconstruction is performed to restore function and appearance after major tissue loss or cancer surgery.
