No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Perforator vessels are those where the source artery is deep and the branch that carries blood to the fasciocutaneous tissues passes through the overlying deep fascia.

Soft tissue defects in the lower extremity, especially distal third of leg, present a challenge to reconstructive surgeons due to lack of reliable local flaps, conventional reconstructive options include split skin grafting, local random fasciocutaneous flaps, cross leg fasciocutaneous flap, pedicled muscular or musculocutaneous flaps or microvascular free tissue transfer. All these procedures have their limitations and associated morbidity at donor site
