BACKGROUND: Skin flaps are among the basic treatment options in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects. To improve skin flap survival, a variety of methods, including pharmacologic agents, have been investigated. The effectiveness of anticoagulants, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and vasodilatory drugs in improving flap survival has been studied. Nebivolol isa new-generation selective beta(1)-adrenoreceptor blocking agent that has vasodilatory, antithrombotic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory effects.
