A free epigastric fat flap, a modification of the well-known cutaneous groin flap, is described in the rat. Vascular perfusion was successfully restored when transferred to the neck of the rat in 75% of the rats that underwent surgery, as assessed by multiple postoperative stripping tests and select microangiography. This flap offers the advantages of familiar anatomy, ease of postoperative care without risk of flap trauma, and a challenge to microsurgical technique development for successful flap transfer execution. Therefore, this free flap provides an additional animal model for use in microsurgical training as well as a research tool in fat transplantation physiology.
本文描述了一种游离上腹部脂肪瓣，它是对著名的腹股沟皮瓣的改良。通过多次术后剥离试验和选择性微血管造影评估，在接受手术的大鼠中，75% 的大鼠将该皮瓣转移至颈部后成功恢复了血管灌注。这种皮瓣具有解剖结构熟悉、术后护理简便且无皮瓣创伤风险的优点，同时对成功进行皮瓣转移的显微外科技术发展提出了挑战。因此，这种游离皮瓣为显微外科训练提供了额外的动物模型，也是脂肪移植生理学的一种研究工具。
