Reconstruction of the anterior floor of the mouth using a peroneal perforator free flap. A case report Ricostruzione della pelvi orale anteriore mediante lembo libero perforante peroniero. Un caso clinico

vascularization of perforator flaps is based on small calibre cutaneous blood vessels, which, originating from a deep main pedicle, reach and cross the superficial fascia after passing through the muscles or the fibrous septa which separate them. use of these flaps has achieved popularity only in recent years and its application in the intra-oral region is even more recent. The Authors present their experience concerning a case in which reconstruction of the anterior floor of the mouth was carried out using a fascio-cutaneous free flap harvested from the lateral part of the leg; the flap pedicle is represented by perforating vessels originating from the peroneal vascular axis.
