The girl in the video came to see me at Operation Kids after going around Phnom Penh and being told there was nothing that could be done for her.
The scar over her face had to be removed it was like tree bark and had to be removed. I told her I had never done a radial artery forearm flap before but she wanted me to try. I had to wrap her arm up to her head for 5 weeks. If she moved her forearm one inch, the radial artery and vein would have broken with the flap dying and blood going everywhere. AND she would have still had a big hole in her arm in addition to a huge hole in her face.
I invented the technique “Vector Mapping” during this case.
Listen to this incredible ending in addition to seeing it.
Note: This is a surgical story so it shows a burned patient and surgery. It’s not too bad, though.
(sorry about my references to Patreon. I was just getting started. This was put together in 2020. If you want to see another reconstruction similar to this, Please let me know in the comments.)
Please forgive me, everyone! I forgot to put the video link. I made another post it's there. Please check and watch. No sleep because I'm trying to revise my book and I've been sick. I'm so tired, I can't think straight tonight.
Where is the video?
