Why haematomas cause flap failure: An evidence-based paradigm
- Abstract:
-
Background: Haematomas compromise flaps in the absence of a pressure effect and pedicle thrombosis. While animal models confirmed the toxic effect of whole blood on adjacently sited random pattern flaps, our understanding of this phenomenon remains incomplete. Our aim was to identify mechanisms by which a subjacent haematoma leads to flap compromise to inform clinical practice.
