Posterior Intercostal Artery Perforator Flap for Posterior Trunk Reconstruction: Perforator Mapping with High-Resolution Ultrasound and Clinical Application

Pedicled perforator flaps have progressively been used for reconstructive purposes of the anterior trunk. However, reports regarding perforator flaps for local reconstruction of the posterior trunk are sparse. The aim of this study was to investigate the vascular basis of perforator flaps based on the posterior intercostal arteries and to highlight the clinical versatility of these flaps for local posterior trunk reconstruction.
