[Multi-sided free transplants for closure of multifocal tissue defects].
Recently microsurgical tissue transfer--especially to the distal lower leg--for coverage of big soft tissue defects has been found to yield better results than conservative methods. However, there is still a problem providing coverage for multiple defects with only one tissue transfer. One solution is to employ multiple transplants with only one nourishing pedicle. Six patients have been treated successfully with such transplants. The operative procedure and the postoperative results are presented with a case report.
