Abstract:
The main principles for plastic and reconstructive surgery is to choose the flap donor site with the least damage to the body, so that the recipient site can obtain the best appearance and maximum functional recovery. Perforator flaps are widely used in the field of repair and reconstruction because they conform to this concept. The polyfoliate perforator flap is a special form of the perforator flap. Through the ingenious design, the width can be changed to the length, so that the donor site of the flap can be directly closed; and only one donor site needs to be damaged and a group of blood vessels are anastomosed. It reduces the damage to the body and shorten the operation time. This kind of flap has become a hot spot in clinical repair of large and irregular wounds. The segmented perforator flap further enriches the connotation of the perforator flap and expand the indications of the perforator flap. This article systematically reviews the historical development and evolution of the polyfoliate perforator flap, summarises the clinical application progress of the polyfoliate perforator flap in recent years, and aims to further promote the application and development of the polyfoliate perforator flap in the repair of complex wounds.
