Abstract
Pedicled perforator flaps are also called local perforator flaps, or island perforator flaps. It combines the advantages of pedicled local flaps (good color and texture match, like-with-like reconstruction), pedicled regional flaps (up to 180° arc of rotation), pedicled distant flap (vascular reliable and larger size), and without microsurgical vascular anastomosis. For most small- to medium-sized defects, pedicled perforator flap allows linear closure of the donor site.
