        "abstract": "Ischial pressure ulcer reconstruction requires durable coverage while preserving local donor options for possible recurrence. The inferior gluteal artery perforator (IGAP) flap is a muscle-sparing option, but superthin elevation requires precise knowledge of the superficial fascial plane and the subcutaneous course of the selected perforator. This technical note describes colour Doppler ultrasonography-guided superficial fascial plane mapping before superthin IGAP flap elevation in a 27-year-old paraplegic patient with a chronic left ischial pressure ulcer who presented in 2025 to a tertiary care university hospital in Muğla, Turkey. Preoperative high-frequency colour Doppler ultrasonography identified the dominant perforator, measured the relevant fascial intervals and guided a controlled dissection above the superficial fascia. The technique allowed elevation of a thin, pliable flap while preserving deeper gluteal structures and perforator integrity. Colour Doppler-guided fascial mapping may support safer superthin perforator flap elevation in selected pressure ulcer reconstructions."
