The Value of Multidetector Row Computed Tomography Angiography for Preoperative Planning of Freestyle Pedicled Perforator Flaps

Conclusions: The MD-CT angiography can be a new but very effective imaging modality for preoperative planning of a freestyle pedicled perforator flap surgery. It allows surgeons to accurately select the most appropriate perforators with the shortest intramuscular or suprafascial course preoperatively leading to safer and easier flap dissection.
