ABSTRACT
The reconstruction of complex posterior trunk defects remains challenging. But now with an increased knowledge of angiosomes and the practice of perforator flaps, the posterior trunk offers a new plethora of options for reconstruction. Propeller flaps based on such perforator(s) offer an elegant solution for managing defects while achieving primary donor-site closure without significant morbidity. We will discuss the relevant anatomy and design principles for propeller flaps based on a review of the literature and our experience. Steps beginning with preoperative planning, perforator selection, and intraoperative surgical technique will be discussed, together with pearls on both avoiding and managing complications.
