On a Hunt for the “True” Septocutaneous Perforator: A Histology Cross-Section Study
Although septocutaneous vessels appear identical macroscopically, microscopically two types of vessels with paraseptal and intraseptal pathways are observed. The majority of these vessels are merely adherent to the septum having a paraseptal pathway, while a minority are within the septum and are "true" septocutaneous perforators. It is advisable to dissect with a piece of the septum in order to avoid damage or injury to the perforator.
