This poster will present a comprehensive exploration of the history of subcutaneously buried flaps in early reconstructive surgery, shedding light on the evolution and contributions of this technique over a chorological time course. Birthed from ancient civilizations, rudimentary flap techniques were employed after manual laborers noticed injured flaps of skin surviving, and attempted to manipulate this, before navigating through the Middle Ages, where innovative approaches to wound closure and tissue reconstruction began to emerge. The Renaissance witnessed a resurgence of interest in anatomy and surgical techniques, laying the groundwork for more sophisticated flap procedures. As the narrative progresses into the 19th and early 20th centuries, key figures such as Carl Nicoladoni and Gillies Foster contribute to the refinement of buried flap techniques in reconstructive surgery. The poster highlights the diverse applications of buried flaps, ranging from facial reconstruction to hand surgery, showcasing the adaptability and versatility of this method. Emphasizing the historical milestones, key practitioners, and the evolving understanding of tissue viability that shaped the development of buried flaps. The historical trajectory of buried flaps, tracing their origins and advancements from ancient practices to their pivotal role in early reconstructive surgery will be discussed further.
