Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Operative Surgery, Vol. 2
The flap must be large enough, and as a rule should be one sixth larger than the space it has to fill; it must be gently handled, carefully adjusted, and most tenderly and precisely sutured. The pedicle of the flap must not be so twisted or extended as to occlude the nutrient vessel. It is of the utmost import ance that there be no undue tension upon the parts, and that the edges of the wound are not merely dragged together.
