Free Tissue Transfer

Free Tissue Transfer is an advanced microsurgical technique used to restore complex defects by transferring healthy tissue from one part of the body to another. This method plays a crucial role in reconstructive surgery after trauma, cancer removal, or congenital deformities.

What We Do

Our expert surgical team performs Free Tissue Transfer by completely detaching skin, fat, muscle, or bone tissue (called a “flap”) and transplanting it to the affected area. Using high-precision microsurgery, we connect tiny blood vessels to ensure the tissue survives and heals naturally.

Why Choose This Procedure?

• To restore appearance and function after major surgery or injury

• Ideal for breast, head & neck, limb, or jaw reconstruction

• Offers better cosmetic and functional outcomes compared to other methods

• Uses your own tissue – making it safe, natural, and biocompatible

Commonly Used Flaps

• DIEP Flap – For breast reconstruction (from lower abdomen)

• Fibula Flap – For jawbone or facial reconstruction

• ALT Flap – For limb, face, or head defects

• Radial Forearm Flap – For oral cavity or throat reconstruction

Benefits of Free Tissue Transfer

• Natural tissue integration

• Long-lasting results

• Minimal risk of rejection

• Improves both functionality and aesthetics

Risks (Rare but Possible)

• Blood flow failure (flap loss)

• Infection or delayed healing

• Scarring at donor or recipient site
