TABLE 2.

The clinical scoring systems for flap adherence and tissue edema

	Flap adherence	Tissue edema
Grading
0	No adherence of the flap to the underlying abdominal wall	No visible edema
1	Less than 50% of the flap area is adherent to the abdominal wall	Minimal signs of edema of the flap
2	50% to less than 100% of the flap area is adherent to the abdominal wall	Moderate edema of the flap
3	Full adherence of the flap to the abdominal wall	Maximum edema of the entire flap
