The Keystone Perforator Flap Concept – A Useful Tool in the Armamentarium of Plastic Surgery

Closure of skins and soft tissue defects is a mainstream procedure in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery. Nowadays plenty of reconstructive options exists in the armamentarium of the specialty. The “keystone island perforator flap” is a relatively new conception which consists of taking ski...
