Invited discussion: Harvesting of forearm perforator flaps based on intraoperative vascular exploration: Clinical experiences and literature review MICROSURGERY Lee, G. K. 2008; 28 (5): 331-332

Abstract

Advancements in microsurgery and a better understanding of vascular anatomy has allowed for expanding indications for perforators flaps in reconstructive surgery. The use of perforator flaps in the forearm has not become widespread, yet the benefit of sparing a major peripheral artery such as the ulnar or radial is certainly worth considering. The authors present their experience with perforator flaps in the forearm.
