Abstract
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has a stimulatory effect on raw areas and wounds by improving granulation. Cross leg flap from the opposite healthy leg is one of the options of donor site for flaps inn leg defects. However there is a risk of necrosis of the distal part of the flap, which may lead to flap failure. Low level laser therapy is one method to improve vascularity of the flap.
