Where this comes from

Abstract

The advantages of this technique in large, shallow defects are: 1. The flap can be monitored clinically during the critical postoperative period. 2. The aesthetic result is much better than that of the bulky myocutaneous flap. 3. No second donor site for the split-thickness skin graft is required.
