Experimental swine models for perforator flap dissection in reconstructive microsurgery.
PLoS ONE, 2022 BackgroundPerforator flaps account for a fraction of reconstructive procedures despite their growing popularity. Specific microsurgical skills are required for successful harvesting of perforator flaps, which are difficult to attain through direct ...

Reliability of Perforator-based UPM Flap for Coverage of Little Finger and Dorsal Hand Defect
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022 Background:. There are different approaches for reconstruction of little finger and dorsal hand defects. The ulnar parametacarpal flap, first introduced by Backhach et al in 1995, is considered a good option for reconstructing such defects. In this study,

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 ...
