A simple concept for covering pressure sores : wound edge-based propeller perforator flap [PDF]
, 2017 We present a new surgical modification to allow propeller perforator flaps to cover pressure sores at various locations. We used a propeller perforator flap concept based on the detection of newly formed perforator vessels located 1 cm from the wound ...

Perforator Flap versus Conventional Flap
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2015 The introduction of perforator flaps represented a significant advance in microsurgical reconstruction. However, confusion has developed due to the erroneous belief that perforator flaps are different from conventional flaps. The concept of the perforator is not new, but is an idea that evolved from the conventional flap.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Free-style Flaps: Risk Analysis of Complications
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018 Background:. Free-style flaps allow surgeons to overcome anatomical variations and raise perforator flaps wherever a pulsatile signal can be detected. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the risk factors for complications and ...

Improvement of the Rotation Arch of the Posterior Interosseous Pedicle Flap Preserving Both Reverse Posterior and Anterior Interosseous Vascular Sources. [PDF]
, 2016 PURPOSE: The reverse posterior interosseous artery flap has several advantages, not sacrificing any major blood vessel, but its relatively short pedicle limits the use to cover defects up to the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Use of propeller flaps for reconstruction of extensor side elbow defects
Turkish Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2020 Introduction: Extensor side elbow defects are difficult to repair among upper extremity injuries. The bulk of surrounding soft tissue is limited and often affected by the trauma, although seems to be ideal, propeller flaps are not being widely adopted ...

Freestyle pedicled perforator flaps: safety, prevention of complications, and management based on 85 consecutive cases. [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Despite the widespread use of free perforator flaps, pedicled perforator flaps seem not to be as widely accepted, probably because of the fear of vascular complications caused by transfer of a flap attached only by its vascular pedicle ...
