Abstract

Skin flap necrosis can be a catastrophe in reconstructive surgery. In recent years many attempts have been made clinically and experimentally to improve the blood supply in ischaemic flaps and minimise or prevent completely the impending tissue necrosis. This present study investigates the role heparin in preventing ischaemic flap necrosis experimentally in rabbits.
