title: [Pediculated flaps: experimental study].
abstract: Seventy dorsal flaps were created in rabbits: 18 cutaneous pedicled flaps and 7 cutaneous free flaps: 23 myocutaneous pedicled flaps and 22 myocutaneous free flaps. Flap viability was compared and its predictability using subjective and objective tests was evaluated. Pedicled flaps had a better survival rate. Cutaneous fluorescence was useful for predicting flap viability.
