Nineteen patients with radial forearm free flap--five of whom underwent nerve anastomosis--were examined. The follow-up interval was 20.3 months (average) after surgical intervention. Histological examinations were performed on 13 of the 19 patients, in eight cases on one occasion and in five on more than one occasion.
