This study believes 3D printed templates usage increases time efficiency, improves the match of skin flaps in donor and recipient arms, and allows us to control the amount of skin surplus without skin flap tip necrosis. In these procedures where time is of the essence, this team believes pre-operative planning is imperative for its success.
