Free tissue transfer is a rarely indicated procedure in burns. However, in well selected cases it may play a pivotal role in optimizing outcomes in both primary and secondary burn reconstruction. We undertook a systematic review, based on the PRISMA statement for systematic reviews, of all published literature relating to the use of free flaps in acute burns and in secondary reconstructive procedures.
