Q
How do you manage falp intra and post op
A
Management of intraop flap
- ischemia time
- microvac anastomosis
- vessels selection:
Upper third if face - fa, superficial temporal artery
Middle third face - fa. Sta.
lower third. - fa. Superior thyroid artery
- intraop arterial anastomosis - spasm, kinking, twisting tension, reanastomose
- intraop venous anastomosis- kinking twisting twnsion , reanastomose
- anticoagulation - heparinized irrigation solution
- general condtion: bp,
Postop Head neutral position Good bp Anticoagulation systematically close monitoring : color, turgor, capilalry refill Control swelling Prevent anemia
