[Transport of finger parts using an abdominal skin flap for finger and thumb reconstructive plastic surgery].
1st. With the aid of an abdominal or an inguinal flap it is possible to reconstruct a finger with sensibility by transporting islands of palmar skin with the corresponding nerve to any amputation stump of the hand. At least three operations are necessary. Parts of bones, joints and tendons may be included in the transported part from the hand. 2nd. These digits are rather bulky. Mobility depends on the preserved joints. 3rd. This method should only be used for thumb reconstruction or to achieve a simple two digit grip. 4th. In children growth of transported bones remains undisturbed.
