Skin flap sectioning: surgical procedure for wound closure
Skin flap sectioning at hands/feet is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions such as skin cancer, burns, and injuries. The procedure involves removing a section of skin from the affected area and repositioning it to cover the wound or defect. The skin flap is carefully dissected, taking care to preserve the blood supply. The surgeon then makes incisions in the surrounding tissue to create a pocket for the flap to fit into. The flap is then carefully positioned and sutured in place. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete. After the procedure, the patient will need to avoid putting weight or pressure on the affected area to allow for proper healing. With proper care, skin flap sectioning can result in successful wound closure and improved function and appearance of the affected area.
