Introduction Use of indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence as a dye to assess
tissue vascularization is now well standardized. The aim of this literature review was to …

Background The vascularization of the distal portions of transferred tissue represents the
most critical factor in the success of reconstructive surgery. In recent years, indocyanine …

Background: The two major perforators supplying the superficial circumflex iliac artery
perforator flap are the medial (superficial) and lateral (deep) perforators; however, they lack …

Background The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is a versatile option
of free tissue transfer for small to large defects. In this study, we examine the advantages of …

Introduction In order to achieve a satisfactory functional and aesthetic result a thin skin flap is
often required in surgical reconstruction of various body regions. Perforator flaps based on …

Background There are various advantages and disadvantages attributed to superficial
circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap. The aim of this study is to evaluate the versatility …

Background The superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SCIP) flap has many ideal features,
such as fast dissection, possibility to harvest thin, pliable, wide skin island, and concealed …

Background. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) offers the potential to provide objective
data for evaluating tissue perfusion of flaps and reduce the incidence of postoperative …

Background: Most authors elevate the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap from
the lateral edge of the skin paddle, and begin by dissecting a perforator perfusing the skin …

Background: Harvesting the sartorius muscle and the iliac bone with a superficial circumflex
iliac artery (SCIA) perforator flap can be a challenging procedure. The aim of this study was …
