Abstract
Fasciocutaneous flaps may lose dependency on their vascular pedicles in the short term following transfer, developing alternative pathways for vascular supply and ultimately survival. A conservative approach early in the course of flap compromise due to perforator ligation or avulsion, in cases where immediate re-anastomosis may not be feasible, is thus supported.
