[Use of pulsed expansion in lengthening of tubed cutaneous flaps. Experimental study].
The Authors describe an intermittent pulsed pressure methodic applied to bipedicle tubed flaps prepared on the back of the rabbit. Clinical, thermographic, and histological data have demonstrated the safety of the flaps and a microvascular bed increase larger than in inexpanded ones.
