The ideal reconstruction of lower limb defects should replace like with like and minimize
morbidity to the donor site, achieving the best possible esthetic and functional outcome. The …

Extended knowledge of vascular anatomy has propagated the development of perforator
flaps, which preserve muscle function and reduce morbidity. This has been achieved …

Background Preoperative knowledge of themicrovascular anatomy of a patientmay improve
safetyand efficacy and reduce morbidity. Today, with the advancement in technology …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the value of a smartphone‐compatible
thermal imaging camera in the mapping of the peroneal artery perforators. Methods Twelve …

Background The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has become a predominant option in the field
of reconstruction. However, some difficulties in harvesting flap exist due to the anatomical …

Background Anterolateral thigh perforator flaps (ALTPFs) have long been considered
workhorse flaps for head and neck reconstructions. However, in some instances …

Background The combined anterolateral thigh (ALT) and anteromedial thigh (AMT) flap has
been previously reported for use in complicated head and neck reconstruction. However, it …

Background After anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap harvesting, skin graft of the donor site is
commonly performed. When the defect width exceeds 8 cm or 16% of thigh circumference, it …

Background: While the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is the most commonly employed thigh-
based flap for microvascular reconstruction, its counterpart, the anteromedial thigh (AMT) …

Background: The superficial femoral artery and medial thigh region has been an underused
donor site for perforator flaps. This study evaluated perforasomes of the superficial femoral …
