Abstract

          Objective: The purpose was to study the result of patients who be treated with Microscopic free tissue transfer reconstruction in Nakhonpathom Hospital.

           Methods: In this retrospective study,data were collected from medical records and surgical records of patients who had microvascular free tissue transfer in Nakhonpathom Hospital between July 1, 2017 to March 31, 2020. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage and mean.

           Result: Sixteen patients who have had microvascular free tissue transfer ;of these, 62.5 percent were male and the mean age was 44.8 years. According to cause of surgery, 2 cases were accidents and 14 cases from removals of tumors. Donor sites were anterolateral thigh flaps (5 cases), radial forearm flaps (5 cases), fibular flaps (5 cases), latissimus dorsi flap (1 case).The average duration of surgery was 7 hours and 51 minutes. And the success rate was 87.5 percent.

           Conclusion: The success rate of free tissue transfer by microvascular surgery in Nakhonpathom hospitalis satisfactory. It also gives good results in both usability and aesthetics. So free tissue transfer by microvascular surgery is a good choice for reconstruction in an appropriated patient.
