A simple classification for standardisation of nomenclature in free flap outcome
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe numbers of free flap donor site as well as their indications are constantly increasing. Despite increasing popularity of microvascular reconstructive procedures, literature lacks clear and objective outcome criteria. This paper reports on a simple outcome classification that has become a routine part of the unit's large workload of microvascular outcome recording.The classification was formed through a retrospective analysis of 241 consecutive cases from 2000 to 2001 and is a five graded numerical classification. Grade 1 equates to total success without co-morbidity and grade 5 to a major complication such as amputation, etc., whatever the status of the flap itself. From 2002 to 2005 the classification was prospectively used on 527 consecutive cases with ease of integration into routine clinical practice.The Classification would enable a more objective record keeping thus analysis of the outcome. It would allow a more realistic comparison of different techniques or donor types as well set a benchmarking level for further improvement of the results.
