Abstract:
In 600 BC, the first pedicled direct cutaneous artery perforator flap—the supravicular artery perforator flap was harvested by Sushruta. In 1973, the first free perforator flap—the superficial circumflex iliac artery flap in the groin was reported by Daniel and Taylor. In 1982, the septocutaneous perforator flap was reported by academician Zhong Shizhen. In 1989, the misculocutaneous perforator flap was reported by Koshima. Reviewing the history of flap surgery, there was a fact that the main evolutionary line was the course of perforator flap. In the future, the clinical application of the traditional random flap (reticulated blood supply flap) and traditional axial flap will be more and more less, whereas the clinical application of perforator flap, especially the direct cutaneous perforator flap and the special type of perforator flap will be more and more extensive.
