Main Article Content
Keywords
Limb stump, microsurgery, free complex transfer, reconstruction
Abstract
Objective: To determine the important role of microsurgery in the clinical practice of stump reconstruction. Subject and method: Reporting the initial clinical results using free complex tissue flap transfer. Result: All wounds heal primarily. The complex tissue flap can help patients easily perform most daily tasks. Conclusion: Microsurgery allows to restore maximally the shape and function of a stump and helps significantly to improve the patient's quality of life and working ability.
