Popis: | Free flaps have become standard of care for reconstruction of the head and neck defects following surgery. The bulkiness of the free flap reconstruction may cause aesthetically and functionally suboptimal results. Recontouring of the flaps with a microdebrider thinning the excessive subcutaneous fatty tissue provides an easy and safe solution to problems. In this article, we describe the recontouring technique with microdebrider in the light of aesthetic and functional examples. |
