Item Caracterización de colgajos de perforantes para reconstrucción de miembro inferior en pacientes oncológicos: Una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Arboleda Díaz, María Valentina; Arias Correa, Valeria; Gómez Andrade, Jonathan; Orejuela Baquero, Diana MileyIntroduction: The coverage of defects in cancer patients has been considered highly complex due to the scarce remaining tissue, therefore the use of flaps based on perforating vessels has significantly evolved the reconstruction of the lower extremity, due to the great distribution of perforator vessels that guarantee effective treatment with favorable functional and aesthetic results, providing a greater range of mobility and better tissue coverage. (1) Objective: Characterize perforator flaps for lower limb reconstruction in cancer patients. Materials and methods: A previous review of studies was carried out where scientific documents were found in the following databases: Scopus, Gale one file, Nature, Google Scholar, Redalyc, Pumed; where articles were collected between 2017 and 2022 in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Result: The perforator flaps were closed in one of the main alternatives for lower extremity reconstruction surgeries in cancer patients, due to their rotation and elevation characteristics, with technological advances better techniques, procedures, and better quality have been offered in the patient care with the possibility of selecting the most appropriate perforator, guaranteeing minimal morbidity in the donor area, developed by the main vascular and underlying muscles, however, they are not exempt from the occurrence of some type of complication and/or adverse event such as venous congestion or flap necrosis. Conclusion: finally, we can conclude that the use of perforating flaps presents an essential alternative to achieve a successful procedure, thanks to the great advantages that they represent, such as the variety of perforating vessels, guaranteeing the patient an improvement in their functionality
