The effect of different modalities of anaesthesia in microvascular free flap surgery has been a topic of ongoing debate. Comparative data to study the effect of general anaesthesia and regional anaesthesia in the form of peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) on lower extremity free flap survival is lacking to date. This study aims to elucidate the effect of regional anaesthesia on flap survival in lower extremity free flap reconstructions.
