Summary

A randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of negative pressure preconditioning of flaps on surgical outcome and microcirculation of the tissue.

Detailed description

Flap surgery relies on the perfusion of the transposed or transplanted tissue. Distal parts of flaps are at risk of ischemia leading to wound complications and reoperation. The potential benefit of a preconditioning protocol using foam mediated negative pressure on the flap before surgery is to be examined.

Conditions

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
PROCEDUREPreconditioningFoam-mediated intermittent negative pressure will be applied to the skin of the planned flap for 5 days before surgery.
