    GlossaryFree Flaps (Free Tissue Transfer)

    surgical procedure transferring tissue with blood vessels to another site

    Free flaps, also known as free tissue transfer, refer to a surgical procedure where tissue, including skin, muscle, or bone, is completely detached from one part of the body and reattached to another area using microsurgery to connect blood vessels. This technique is often used in reconstructive surgery to repair defects caused by trauma, cancer, or other conditions, ensuring the transplanted tissue remains viable and functional in its new location.
