Analysis of the protective effect of hydrogen sulfide over time in ischemic rat skin flaps.

Ann Chir Plast Esthet

January 2025

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Çukurova University, Adana, Turkey.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a widely studied gasotransmitter, and its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion damage has been explored in several studies. Therefore, a requirement exists for a comprehensive study about HS effects on ischemia-reperfusion damage in flap surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hydrogen sulfide by creating ischemia-reperfusion injury in the vascular-stemmed island flap prepared from the rat groin area.
