Although clinical application of a pre-expanded perforator flap is primarily focused on face and neck reconstructions, such a flap has also been used to reconstruct defects in the trunk, extremities, or hands. With better understanding of the improved blood supply to the flap and the mechanism on the prefabrication of blood supply within the flap, the pre-expanded perforator flap will definitely play a more important role in reconstructive surgery and can be used in selected patients by many plastic surgeons worldwide with good reconstructive and cosmetic outcomes.
尽管预扩张穿支皮瓣的临床应用主要集中于面颈部重建，但这种皮瓣也已被用于躯干、四肢或手部的缺损修复。随着对皮瓣血供改善以及皮瓣内血供预制机制的深入理解，预扩张穿支皮瓣必将在重建手术中发挥更重要的作用，并且世界各地的许多整形外科医生可将其用于合适的患者，以获得良好的重建和美容效果。
