Perforator flaps, a key advance in reconstructive surgery originating in Asia, optimize reconstructions and reduce patient morbidity. This review assesses their reliability and impact two decades after their introduction.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Vascular anatomy
  • Surgical innovation

Context:

  • Reconstructive surgery has seen major advancements since the mid-20th century.
  • Perforator flap techniques, originating in Asia, represent a significant recent improvement.
  • Optimizing reconstruction and minimizing patient morbidity are key goals.

Purpose:

  • To review the history, concept, and nomenclature of perforator flaps.
  • To analyze international literature on perforator flap reliability and morbidity.
  • To assess the impact of perforator flaps 20 years after their initial description.

Summary:

  • Perforator flaps enhance reconstructive surgery by utilizing specific cutaneous blood supply.
  • Advances in surgical instrumentation facilitate these complex procedures.
