“…[15][16][17] The particular benefits of venous flaps comprise situations where arterial donor site morbidity is undesirable or in areas where large healthy veins could be found proximal and distal to the wound. 6 Common donor sites include distal volar forearm, saphenous and dorsalis pedis venous flaps, 3,4,8,15,[17][18][19][20] and even thenar and hypothenar areas. 17,21 With potentially easier dissection and a generally thin and nonbulky flap, 1 the greater quantity of available veins over arteries provides a substantially greater number of venous flaps available over arterial-based flaps.…”
