CORREA BERNAL, DIANA MARÍA et al. PERFORATOR FLAPS BASIC PRINCIPLES AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS. rev.fac.med [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.1, pp.42-51. ISSN 0121-5256.

Perforator flaps have turned into the reconstructive step with the highest surgical refinement because of its benefits by limiting the donor site morbidity and allowing more accurate tissue graving in the defects to be reconstructed while allowing the transference of several types of tissues, thus becoming a versatile tool for complex cases with tridimensional defects and specific tissue needs. This article reviews the clinical features as well as the presentation of patients managed through this option, which, in the field of reconstructive microsurgery, has been positioned as the leading election when the different possibilities of treatment are considered.

Palabras clave : Microsurgery; perforator flaps; reconstructive surgery; plastic surgery.
