Free transplantation of venous network pattern skin flap: An experimental study in rabbits

Abstract
Free skin flaps using rabbit ear to replace rabbit scalp have been accomplished using only arteriovenous and venous-venous anastomosis, without arterio-arterial anastomosis. The technique produced excellent graft survival in 30 of 33 rabbits. Without the vascular anastomosis control grafts did poorly. The mechanism of flow reversed revascularization is discussed.
