title: Adipofascial Flap in the Recipient Incision Site for Coverage of Vascular Pedicle in Free Tissue Transfer.
abstract: The recipient incision adipofascial flap offers a simple approach to address a tight skin closure over a vascular pedicle. This technique is not just fast and easy to perform but also adds little to no morbidity, removing a potential source of flap failure.
