Advanced Surgical Reconstruction Techniques

This session will build on the earlier session of Principles of Wound Management by reviewing different surgical techniques available for reconstruction of large open wounds (either chronic or those created by the surgeon for treatment of a primary condition). We will review the principles of subdermal plexus flaps, axial pattern flaps, and skin grafts and emphasize tips for success with each technique. Attendees will gain an increased understanding of the principles behind the success of advanced wound reconstructions, and an awareness in how to prepare for the completion of these techniques.
