title: [Free radical production in the subdermal vascular network thin skin flap].
abstract: In this experiment 12 piglets were used to study the survival length and free radical production of subdermal vascular network thin skin flap, fascial flap and PSVN. The flap or graft was designed 15 cm x 3 cm in size on the flanks of the animals. Twenty-four flaps or grafts were formed in each group. The observation on 7 postoperative day indicated that the survival length of the subdermal vascular network thin skin flap was 38% over that of fascial flap, while the free radical was less in the former, and it could be one of the reasons for its better survival.
