Free tissue transfer is usually considered as a last resort in severe burn cases, when skin substitutes and local flaps are not viable options. Prior studies have demonstrated a free flap loss rate ranging from 0% to 44%. The aim of this study is to identify the ideal timing to perform free flap reconstruction in acute burn-related injuries to minimize free flap loss.
