		The excimer laser energy is applied under this flap to remove tissue and effect a change in refractive error.
		LASIK flaps are made with a mechanical microkeratome using a metal blade.
		Although the epithelial flap will be repositioned after the laser energy is applied, it is not possible to have a second Epi-LASIK flap created because to create the Epi-LASIK flap with the special epikeratome, the Bowman's layer must be intact.

	Scapular Flap
		The scapular flap has become clinically popular because it provides a large area of fasciocutaneous tissue and is relatively straight forward to harvest.
		The anatomy of the scapular flap allows it to be harvested with a large number of other flaps on a single pedicle, allowing for complex and large reconstructions of composite tissue defects.

		The lateral arm flap may be raised as a fasciocutaneous flap or as a composite graft with bone (humerus), and two nerves, one of which (posterior cutaneous nerve of the arm) serves as sensory supply and the other (posterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm or posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve) as a vascularized nerve graft.
		The flap may either be raised as a muscle flap or a musculocutaneous flap.
		Use of the jejunal free flap is contraindicated in a number of situations including patients with ascites, history of extensive abdominal surgery, involvement of cancer in the thoracic esophagus (gastric pull-up should be used), and history of chronic intestinal disease such as Crohn's disease.

		During the time the excimer laser is applying energy to the corneal stroma, the flap is exposed to the atmosphere and may dehydrate slightly.
		Most flaps created with a mechanical microkeratome are meniscus in shape, meaning they are thinner in the center than at the midperiphery, and then transition to thin edges.
		If smoothing does not provide the desired result, the flap may be lifted with significant irrigation throughout the area, repositioning of the flap, and smoothing with a tiny sponge or similar instrument.

		Muscle flap operations leave scars both from where the tissue was taken and on the reconstructed breast.
		Muscle flap procedures take much longer than implant operations, lasting about four to five hours, and patients typically stay in the hospital three to four days, compared to one day with the implant operation.
		Because muscle flap reconstruction involves the blood vessels, women who smoke or have diabetes, vascular, or connective tissue diseases cannot typically undergo this type of breast reconstruction.

	IntraLase: LASIK Plus Bladeless Flap-Cutting - AllAboutVision.com
		In LASIK, the microkeratome is used to cut a hinged flap in the cornea.
		As occurs with a mechanical microkeratome, a small section of tissue at one edge of the flap is left uncut, forming a hinge that allows the surgeon to fold back the flap so that the cornea can be accessed and reshaped for vision correction.
		This difference in flap structure may reduce the chance of cells growing underneath and pushing up the flap (epithelial ingrowth) to create an irregular corneal surface with accompanying vision defects.

		A completely severed flap (free cap) can work out OK - that is, it doesn't need a hinge to stay on the eye, there's something about surface pressure or something that can keep it in place.
