Abstract
Skin tubes are widely used for tissue defect repair and organ reconstruction in plastic surgery. It has long been proved that a random pattern skin tube, scarcely vascularized by innominate vessels immediately after its reconstruction, exhibits a very rich vascularization after a couple of weeks, that its subcutaneous fat can be liberally trimmed off and its cut distal end during transfer can be folded without any risk of blood supply disturbance. The sequence of events in morphologic changes in blood vessels in random skin tubes and the mechanism of the revascularization are two unresolved problems in the realm of plastic surgery.
