Free Flap Surgery: Microsurgical Aspects and Patient Management
Thank you for your feedback!
How do you choose between skin-fascial and muscle flaps in severe reconstructive cases? In this session, Dr. Hnat Herych shares extensive experience from the Unbroken center, covering the evolution of microsurgery and its critical role in modern trauma management.
The lecture dives deep into the strategic planning of free flap surgeries, discussing the multidisciplinary approach necessary for severe military and civilian injuries. You will explore practical clinical cases, including the use of LD, ALT, and fibula flaps for massive facial, cranial, and limb defects.
Discover the nuances of infection control, the application of British orthoplastic protocols (BOA/BAPRAS), and the ongoing debate on flap vascularization for open fractures. A highly practical session for young surgeons aiming to master complex reconstructive puzzle-solving.

Free Flap Planning: From Patient Selection to a Reliable Surgical SystemFree flap surgery is more than microsurgical technique—it is a carefully coordinated system. This lecture explores how planning, team organization, vascular imaging, anesthesia, flap selection and rehabilitation shape the final reconstructive result.
