  • Title: The Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap in Lower Extremity Reconstruction.
    Author: Hong JP.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2021 Apr; 48(2):225-233. PubMed ID: 33674044.
    Abstract:
    The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap is evolved from the groin flap, which was one of the early free flaps with a good concealed donor site. By further understanding the anatomy of perforators and elevating the flap based on it, this will provide added advantage of being a thin flap, harvesting as a composite flap, and help estimate the limit of skin paddle dimension. Despite these advantages, the relatively short pedicle still remains a challenge where long pedicle flaps are needed. One should select the flaps based on the recipient defect condition along with surgeons' experience, knowledge, and preference.
