Used venous flaps to repair dorsal skin defects in 10 patients from 2010 to 2025
Flaps were predominantly unipedicled distally based, with one exception of a free venous flap
Included elevation of the flap with one superficial vein and surrounding tissue.
All flaps survived completely across all 10 cases
Flap sizes ranged from 4 cm2 to 9 cm2, with a mean vascular pedicle length of 3.1 cm
Donor sites closed primarily in 8 cases and utilized skin grafts in 2 cases.
