Surgical Flaps

Surgical flaps is a collection of simple 3D animations, helping to visualise and understand the design of commonly used surgical flaps.

‘Surgical Flaps’ is an App designed for the iPad and iPhone as an educational tool outlining the designs of commonly used techniques to reconstruct skin defects in Plastic Surgery.

The App is carefully constructed to optimise understanding of these complex procedures and the work is presented in 3 different ways for the user to increase his/her understanding:

• As still diagrams (Pre-operative illustrations)

• With state-of-the-art 3D animated illustrations starting with the excision of the lesions and proceeding with the incisions made, the transferring of the tissues and the final outcome

• With text to explain the procedure

Surgical Flaps is designed for medical students, trainee plastic surgeons, dermatological surgeons and surgeons of all specialities interested in flap surgery.
