Summary

Local perforator flaps offer stable soft tissue defect coverage. A modified harvest technique, relocating the perforator, decreases traction and increases flap length for improved reconstruction.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Local perforator flaps are crucial for soft tissue defect coverage.
Advancements allow free-style harvesting, increasing flap selection freedom.

Keywords:

Flap Free style local perforator Perforator relocation
