Abstract
This chapter describes the advanced training technique for harvesting and microsurgical transfer of the free flap. The designed flap is supplied through a perforator, which exits from the anteromedial aspect of the chicken leg. This training model allows a trainee to go through all the stages of a microsurgical operation: from marking the flap and the perforator exit point to its microsurgical insertion into the recipient site. Skills gained from the previous chapters help the trainee go through this stage of the microsurgeon learning curve.
