Perforator Relocation in Free Style Local Perforator Flaps

Local perforator flaps have evolved over the time to provide complete and stable coverage of soft tissue defects. Technical advances and experience with the perforator flaps have allowed the harvest of local perforator flaps in a free style manner by offering greater freedom in flap selection. We have proposed a technical modification in the harvest of a perforator flap by relo-cating the perfo...

Use of Local Perforator Flaps for Post Burn Reconstruction

BACKGROUND Mainstay of post-burn reconstruction is release and split skin grafting. Pedicle flaps are cumbersome to the patient, require multiple procedures and hospitalization.

Freestyle Local Perforator Flaps for Facial Reconstruction

For the successful reconstruction of facial defects, various perforator flaps have been used in single-stage surgery, where tissues are moved to adjacent defect sites. Our group successfully performed perforator flap surgery on 17 patients with small to moderate facial defects that affected the functional and aesthetic features of their faces. Of four complicated cases, three developed venous c...

Orofacial reconstruction with local flaps at AFID.

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of oral cavity is often a difficult challenge as it involves the restoration of both the cosmetics and preoperative function. Understanding the oral cavity anatomy as well the functional capacities of its various subunits is required to achieve good results. The stage of the disease and extent of resection are the most significant parameters that must be kept in mind b...
