Cross-Leg Flap Reconstruction: Salvaging Complex Lower-Limb Defects

Cross-leg flaps are used when local tissue is insufficient, temporarily borrowing tissue from the opposite limb to achieve wound coverage.

What It Costs

For cross-leg flap reconstruction, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 9,000 – 14,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,000 – 3,200
Staged procedures and prolonged hospitalisation are common.

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage is generally strong:
• Classified as major reconstructive surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia benefits apply

Insurance Tip

Confirm coverage for staged procedures and prolonged inpatient stays.

Conclusion

Complex limb salvage requires complex care and insurance alignment from start to finish.
