TFL Perforator Flap Complementing and Completing the ALT–AMT Flap Axis
Archives of Plastic SurgeryBackground Anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is the most common soft tissue flap used for microvascular reconstruction of head and neck. Its harvest is associated with some unpredictability due to variability in perforator characteristics, injury

Where to find facial artery perforators: a reference point [PDF]
, 2010 Reconstructive surgery of the midface using facial artery perforator (FAP) flaps is being used more frequently now as it has been reported to provide better aesthetic results and reduce a traditional two-stage procedure to a one-stage technique.

Gluteal-fold adipofascial perforator flap transposition for rectourethral fistula reconstruction [PDF]
, 2014 If a rectourinary fistula does not close spontaneously, it requires surgical closure. We present our experience of rectourethral fistula reconstruction using a gluteal-fold perforator flap, resulting in a successful outcome. The patient was a 64-year-old

Quantifying Blood Flow in the DIEP Flap: An Ultrasonographic Study
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2014 Background: The maximum weight of tissue that a single perforator can perfuse remains an important question in reconstructive microsurgery. An empirically based equation, known as the flap viability index (FVI), has been established to determine what ...

Delayed Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Free Flap for Calcaneal Degloving Injury Reconstruction
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023 Summary:. The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has a long vascular pedicle that is ideal for lower extremity reconstruction, but it generally relies on the presence of a dominant septocutaneous perforator vessel.

The use of perforator flaps for the reconstruction of sacral defects: Ten-year experience
Formosan Journal of Surgery, 2018 Background: Despite advances in reconstruction techniques, sacral defects continue to challenge surgeons. The perforator flap preserves the entire contralateral side as a future flap donor site and the gluteal muscle itself on the ipsilateral side to ...
