We have described the advantages and disadvantages of using the rat epigastric free flap as a means of studying transplantation phenomena. The study comprises 20 epigastric free flap autografts in rats. After 1 1/2 years of working on the model, we achieved a 75% success rate in the last 20 consecutive procedures. From our experience with this model, we feel that the rat epigastric flap has a place in the study of transplantation phenomena in the experimental laboratory. In addition, we feel that this is an excellent technical exercise for maintaining proficiency in performing microvascular anastomoses.
我们已经描述了使用大鼠腹壁游离皮瓣作为研究移植现象手段的优缺点。该研究包括对20只大鼠进行腹壁游离皮瓣自体移植。在对该模型进行了1年半的研究后，我们在最近连续的20次手术中取得了75%的成功率。根据我们对这个模型的经验，我们认为大鼠腹壁皮瓣在实验室内研究移植现象方面有一定的作用。此外，我们觉得这是一项很好的技术练习，有助于保持进行微血管吻合术的熟练程度。
