What is a Free Flap Reconstruction?
A free flap reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure that involves transferring tissue and sometimes bone from one part of the body to another to repair defects caused by trauma, cancer, or congenital conditions. This technique is particularly useful for reconstructing large or complex defects.
