    surgical technique moving nearby tissue to cover wounds

    Local flaps are sections of tissue that are surgically moved from an adjacent area to cover a nearby defect or wound. This technique is often used in reconstructive surgery to repair areas with significant tissue loss, ensuring that the transferred tissue maintains its original blood supply, which promotes better healing and integration.
