  • Title: Successful detachment of cross-leg fasciocutaneous flaps on the tenth day: a report of 10 cases.
    Author: Thatte RL, Yelikar AD, Chhajlani P, Thatte MR.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1986 Oct; 39(4):491-7. PubMed ID: 3779196.
    Abstract:
    A series of 10 patients is presented in whom cross-leg fasciocutaneous flaps were detached on the tenth day without any subsequent complication or loss. All the flaps were designed with a distal fascial extension that might have helped neovascularisation of the flap. The paper also includes a description of the nature of the fasciocutaneous flap in the leg, comments on the neovascularisation of flaps and a brief analysis of the economics of a skin flap transfer.
