Safety of Elevation from Superficial Fascial Plane versus Traditional Deep Fascial Plane for Flap Elevation in a Porcine Model

“…This is because, first, the blood supply and dermal appendages are the most similar to those of humans, as opposed to other mammals 9,13 . The pigs also had fixed skin without panniculus carnosus, which can lead to true fasciocutaneous flap models 10,13 . Second, the Micropig ® (Medikinetics) had white skin color, which allowed good discrimination between flap necrosis and normal skin.…”

“…Not only performing superficial fascia flaps in free flap reconstruction 8,13 but also performing superficial fascia flap debulking procedures 17,18 were already begun in clinical settings and our experiment gave theoretical support of these procedures. We used Micropigs ® (Medikinetics) in this experiment.…”

“…However, these flaps are only 2 flaps per pig can be elevated, and the flap length can be short for the ischemic flap model. Furthermore, Son et al 13 reported that the pig's dorsal flank area had relatively general uniform blood supply in a microangiography study. We showed that the suprafascial plexus of the superficial fascia was the most frequently dominant arterial plexus in random fasciocutaneous flap, and there were no flap survival differences between flap elevation planes.…”

“…To determine the dominant arterial plexuses of random fasciocutaneous flaps, we performed microangiography using lead oxide (Pb 3 O 4 ) mixtures 13 . We divided the arterial plexus into 9 categories from the superficial to deep arterial plexus: 1. subdermal plexus; 2. subcutaneous plexus of the superficial fat; 3. suprafascial plexus of the superficial fascia; 4. superficial fascial plexus; 5. subfascial plexus of the superficial fascia; 6. subcutaneous plexus of deep fat; 7. suprafascial plexus of the deep fascia; 8. deep fascial plexus; and 9. subfascial plexus of the deep fascia (Fig.…”

The Impact of a Child’s Pain, Anxiety and Stress on Burn Re-epithelialisation

“…A recent development in electronic devices measuring wound area is the Visitrak™ (Smith & Nephew) which has been used across a number of clinical areas and research practices [64][65][66]. Wound length, width and area are accurately measured (to 0.1 cm²) by the Visitrak™ tablet after tracing the wound on the transparent sterile grid [63].…”
