Few areas of reconstructive surgery have witnesses such rapid progress as the repair of skin defects in the upper limb using local tissues as pedicled or islanded pedicle flaps. The progress is based on improved surgical techniques and a better undestanding of the vascularization of the skin. The 41 contributions to this volume provide a guide to common pedicled flaps of the upper limb, covering both surgical and anatomical aspects.
