PURPOSE:To describe a new experimental flap for studying skin viability in rats.
METHODS:Twenty male Wistar rats weighing between 250-300g were divided into two groups: group A -McFarlane technique, a 4 x 10cm flap was used (McFarlane); and in group B modified McFarlane technique, a 3 x 10cm flap was used. Seven days later, the animals were sacrificed and the area of necrosis was evaluated in both groups.
RESULTS: Group
