pedicled flap, commonly used by the plastic surgeon in the recon-struction of skin and soft tissue defects, differs from the so-called free skin graft in two ways: first, it consists of all of the layers of the skin, with a significant amount of attached fat and subcutaneous tissue; and second, it carries its own blood supply from one or more ...
pedicle flap is known as an “attached” flap because one side of the flap stays attached to its original blood supply (arteries and veins). No blood vessels are cut. The part of the flap that stays attached can be rotated or tunneled (passed) under your skin to reach the new location.
Mahajan has described one such new procedure for recession coverage by utilizing the periosteal pedicle graft. This graft utilizes the osteogenic potential of the periosteum which is due to its highly vascular nature, presence of fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and stem cells.
Pedicle Grafts: Rotational Flaps and Double-Papilla Procedure. Serge Dibartand Mam douh Karima. HISTORY. Grupe & Warren were the first to describe the sliding flap as a method to repair isolated gingival defects (1956). They reported elevating a full-thickness flap one tooth away from the defect and rotating it to cover the recession.
Introduction. When performing Mohs micrographic facial surgery, many different closure techniques are available to preserve function and cosmesis. [1] [2] Island pedicle flaps, a form of advancement flap, are unique as these flaps primarily use the vascular supply from the subcutaneous tissue to prevent flap failure.
Comparison of effectiveness of the novel periosteal pedicle graft technique with coronally advanced flap for the treatment of long-span unesthetic multiple gingival recession defects.
Aim: Free tissue transfer is essential for extremity reconstruction following traumatic injuries, oncologic resection, and diabetic complications. However, given the circumferential shape of the arm and leg, a small amount of ongoing edema can prevent a tension-free closure.
