Clinical pearls and pitfalls of peroneal perforator flap containing neurovascular axis
CHEN Xue-song
Abstract：With his own operative treatment experience and literature review ,the author introduces vascular char-acteristics of a kind of special peroneal perforator flap which is supplied by a relatively large peroneal perforating ar -tery ( with a inside-diameter≥0.8 mm ) through the neurovascular axis ,and suggests some principles and practical tricks for flap planning and harvesting .The flap combines the advantages of the nerocutaneous vascular flap ,perfora-tor flap and free flap .Based on effective preoperative assessment of peroneal perforators with color Doppler flow im -age and computed tomography angiography ,it can be used as a free or propeller perforator flap to repair any defects anywhere freely,accurately and efficiently with the techniques of the super-thin,adipofascial-cutaneous,chimeric,as-sembled and multi-leaf flaps .
