Abstract

In a rural-based setting, providing optimal treatment is often difficult owing to the limited resources and financial constraints being rampant in cancer care delivery. Oncological resections often result in large, complex defects requiring free flap reconstruction to achieve cosmetic and/or functional goals. This article focuses on our experience of starting and promoting microvascular reconstruction in a rural tertiary medical college hospital.
