Background: Currently, increased interest in the perforator-pedicled propeller flap should not
obscure the fact that it is, in reality, a complex procedure requiring experience and …

Introduction Currently, increasingly reconstructive surgeon consider the failure rates of
perforator propeller flaps especially in the distal third of the lower leg are too important and …

The distally based sural fasciocutaneous flap is one of the few options available for local flap
reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in the lower one-third of the leg. Few studies have …

Background/Aim: Since their introduction in 1991, propeller flaps are increasingly used as a
surgical approach to loss of substance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the indications …

Methods Based on the 2 rows of septocutaneous perforators in the posterior distal third of
the lower leg, distally based adipofascial flap was raised from medial sural region nourished …

Background: An anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap can be thinned to an extent to which
it is vascularised only by the subdermal plexus. This study presents an innervated flap …

Distally based perforator sural flaps from the posterolateral or posteromedial lower leg
aspect are initially a neurofasciocutaneous flap that can be transferred reversely to the foot …

Purpose The aim of this report is to compare free perforator flaps and propeller flaps in the
coverage of lower limb soft tissue defects. Patients and methods 179 patients (age between …

Background Distally based peroneal artery perforator-plus fasciocutaneous (DPAPF) flaps
and distally based posterior tibial artery perforator-plus fasciocutaneous (DPTAPF) flaps are …

Introduction Although using distally based sural flaps is old and common, the described
harvesting methods vary and often depend on unclear vascular anatomical data. We …
