Abstract:
Many reports about free perforator flaps have been published. Among them, the free true perforator flap (classified by Koshima) is the least invasive flap because the main vessels in both donor and recipient sites are preserved. Two cases of reconstruction with free true perforator flaps in the hand and forearm region are reported. This is the first report of free true perforator flaps.
