The introduction of perforator flaps by Koshima and Soeda in 1989 was met with much animosity in the surgical community. The flaps challenged conventional teaching and were often branded as being unsafe. Surgeries using perforator flaps are now routinely practiced all over the world, with increasing emphasis on minimizing donor site morbidity, and perforator flaps are becoming the current gold standard. The simple principles and techniques of perforator dissection can be applied to all perforator flaps, provided the surgeon has an intimate knowledge of the regional anatomy. Thus, virtually any piece of skin can be harvested as long as it incorporates a feeding vessel. This article highlights the essential techniques in planning and raising perforator flaps and the common pitfalls to be avoided.
