description BACKGROUND: Mainstay of post-burn reconstruction is release and split skin grafting. Pedicle flaps are cumbersome to the patient, require multiple procedures and hospitalization. Free flaps are technically demanding and facilities are not universally available. Here we evaluated the local perforator flaps for post-burn reconstruction. METHODS: We have used sixteen perforator propellar flaps for post-burn reconstruction for various areas of body. RESULTS: All flaps did well without any recontracture and need of splintage. CONCLUSION: Local perforator flaps should be considered as one of the primary treatment options for post burn reconstruction.
