Peritoneo‐cutaneous perforators in deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps: A cadaveric dissection and computed tomographic angiography study

Abstract

Peritoneal-cutaneous perforators are rare anatomical variations (4/375: 1.1%) that may have significant ramifications for surgery utilizing the vasculature of the abdominal wall. CTA was significantly able to detect this anomaly and aid operative planning. Preoperative CTA helps to safely identify individual vascular anatomy including rare variations.
