Title: A new experimental venous super-drained transmidline abdominal skin flap model in pig
Abstract: The vascular compromise in the contralateral random portion is a major drawback of the transmidline abdominal flap, regardless of what technique is used, resulting in partial congestive necrosis of skin and/or cutaneous fat. Venous superdrainage was recommended as a safeguard to the viability of this portion. 1 Tran Nho V. Buchel Edward W. Convery Phyllis A. Microvascular complications of DIEP flaps. Plast. Reconstr.

However, some researchers got different results based on different or even the same animal models. 2 Hallock Geoffrey G. Rice David C.
