The purpose of this paper is to describe the principles of perforator flaps for vulvar reconstruction. Basic concepts, indications and operative technique are discussed and detailed. In vulvar reconstruction, the use of perforator flaps is a superior surgical technique when compared to the use of conventional flaps.
