The phrase "area of flap" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to anatomy, surgery, or design, where "flap" refers to a section that can be moved or manipulated.
Example: "The surgeon carefully assessed the area of flap to ensure proper healing after the procedure."
Alternatives: "region of flap" or "section of flap".
The average area of flap necrosis was mean +/- s.d.
The mean area of flap necrosis was assessed for all groups on the fifth postoperative day, using planimetry software.
The group with pre-ischaemic application of Sper/NO showed a significantly lower area of flap necrosis than either of the control groups or the group receiving Sper/NO just prior to reperfusion (P < 0.05).
The group receiving Sper/NO just prior to reperfusion demonstrated a significantly higher mean area of flap necrosis than the non-ischaemic controls (P < 0.05), but did not differ significantly from the control group.
According to reports by Lai and Lin in 1992, the most reliable way to predict the survival of a subcutaneous flap is by the ratio of the area of the flap to the area of its base through which the vessels penetrate to supply the subcutaneous plexus.
However, sclera flaps for knot coverage tends to atrophy with time [ 1, 12– 18], probably because the area of the flap is too small.
Laffosse et al. showed that with time, the area of lateral flap numbness becomes smaller [13].
The mean area of lateral skin flap ischemia at the inverted T incision was significantly less on the UAL side than on the SAL side (UAL, 47 ± 128 mm2; SAL, 361 ± 500 mm2; P = 0.02).
The percentage of flap survival area was calculated with standard grid paper 7 days after surgery.
The resorbing activity of osteoclasts was evaluated by the area of lacunae on bone flaps and the concentration of calcium in the supernatant liquid of osteoclasts.
After chicken osteoclasts were cultured for 5 d in a medium containing supernatant from transfected CEFs, the percentage of osteoclast apoptosis was increased significantly, the concentration of TRAP, the area of lacunae on bone flaps and calcium concentration were decreased significantly in the pcDNA3.1/OPG group compared to the control group and the pcDNA3.1 group.
