Successful Clinical Transfer of Ten Free Flaps by Microvascular Anastomoses

Microsurgical Composite Tissue Transplantation: A Clinical Trial

“…Mclean and Buncke in 1972 [3] transferred greater omentum with meshed skin graft to cover a scalp defect. The procedure was further popularized in clinical practice by Harii and Ohmori [4] and Daniel and Taylor [5]. The repair of large skin and subcutaneous defects by conventional pedicle flaps requires multiple operations in troublesome positions with prolonged hospitalization.…”

An Evolutionary Perspective on the History of Flap Reconstruction in the Upper Extremity

“…Shortly thereafter, Daniel and Taylor 80 accomplished the first microvascular extremity reconstruction by free transfer of a groin flap to the foot. Harii and colleagues 81 of Japan subsequently performed the first microvascular fasciocutaneous transfer in the upper extremity with a groin flap to the hand in 1973. The first free musculocutaneous transfers to the upper extremity were performed in 1976 by surgeons in China transferring pectoralis to the forearm (unknown to the world until subsequent years) 82 and Ikuta and colleagues 83 of Japan transferring gracilis to the forearm, both for treating Volkmann ischemic contractures by placing free-functioning muscle.…”
