The efficacy of hyaluronidase on flap survival: an animal model.

Objective: It has been hypothesized that hyaluronidase may allow fluid to enter and exit the basal area of the flap more readily and thus allow waste metabolites from the distal portion of the flap to drain towards areas where the blood supply may be healthier. We aimed to test this hypothesis by seeing whether hyaluronidase enhances the survival of a flap created in an animal model.

Materials And Methods: The experiment utilized 14 male Wistar rats to test the effect of administering hyaluronidase on flap survival.
