The Effect of Botulinum Toxin A on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Rat Model

Figure 1

A harvesting of right superior musculocutaneous flap. Flap (6 × 1.5 cm in size) was made after the inferior origin was detached at the caudal border. Any musculofascial defect in the abdominal wall was closed primarily using Vicryl 4-0 (a). To prevent revascularization of the overlying flap, a 6 × 1.5 cm of tailored sterile surgical glove was placed under the flap following applying a tourniquet that tightly wrapped the pedicle containing muscle and skin (b).
