The deep circumflex iliac artery perforator (DCIP) flap offers improved positioning due to its freedom from the iliac crest. Confirming perforator presence is crucial for safe DCIP flap elevation.

Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • The deep circumflex iliac artery perforator (DCIP) flap is a valuable option in reconstructive surgery.
  • Harvesting the DCIP flap from the iliac crest can be challenging due to anatomical considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of flap mobility for optimal positioning.
  • To emphasize the necessity of pre- and intraoperative confirmation of perforator vessels for safe elevation.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical technique description focusing on DCIP flap elevation.
  • Preoperative and intraoperative assessment of perforator vessels.

Main Results:

  • Increased freedom of the DCIP flap from the iliac crest aids in achieving correct positioning.

  • Confirmation of perforator presence (approx. 1 cm diameter) is essential for safe flap elevation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The DCIP flap's mobility is key for precise surgical placement.
    • Careful pre- and intraoperative evaluation of perforators is critical for successful and safe DCIP flap harvesting.
