Perforator Vascular Localization Assisted by Different  Methodology in Reconstructive Surgery

Different methodologies assist perforator’s vascular localization in reconstructive surgery. In modern reconstructive microsurgery, perforator flaps have become the pillar of treatment. Their welldescribed benefits over the conventional free flaps are reduced donor location morbidity, improved flap mobility, and determining, creating reconstructive methods additional ingenious. There are different procedures used for vascular plotting in perforator flaps. In this review, we will debate the pros and cons as well as comparison of numerous vascular plotting techniques used for vascular localization in detail such as Hand-held Doppler Sonography (HHD), CT angiography (CTA), MR angiography (MRA), DS angiography (DSA), CD Sonography (CDS), Infrared thermography (IRT), and Indocyanine green-fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA).
