Perforator plus flaps: Optimizing results while preserving function and esthesis
Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2010 Background: The tenuous blood supply of traditional flaps for wound cover combined with collateral damage by sacrifice of functional muscle, truncal vessels, or nerves has been the bane of reconstructive procedures.
