Abstract
Microsurgical free tissue transfer and replantations have long been the bailiwick of academic training centers and tertiary referral centers. However, the authors' experience with more than 350 consecutive free tissue transfers during a span of 15 years in a purely private setting illustrates the changing economics of the medical environment in that time frame. These data provide insight into the feasibility and practicality of maintaining a microsurgical practice outside an academic medical center.
