Modified free paraumbilical perforator flap improves vessel size and length.(Brief Article)

"The free paraumbilical perforator flap that was developed with only the perforator penetrating the rectus abdominis muscle seems nearly ideal from the donor-site perspective, because it reduces morbidity virtually to that of an abdominoplasty," scientists writing in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery report.
"However, it requires 'supermicrosurgery' skills for suturing of vessels with diameters of 0.7 mm or less, making the procedure technically demanding and risky," wrote T. Schoeller and colleagues, Leopold Franzens University, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
"Another significant disadvantage of that technique is that the flap has very short vascular pedicles," the researchers added.
The researchers concluded: "To overcome the disadvantages of the free paraumbilical perforator flap, a minor modification in flap harvesting that improves the vessel size and length is ...
