Objective: to map postoperative care in reconstruction with surgical flaps of a traumatic wound in the lower limb. Method: scope review developed according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual in reference databases, information portals and gray literature. Two search strategies were designed for the wide reach of publications. Results: ten postoperative care procedures were identified and related to specific moments in this phase. Being categorized into: 1) Care in the immediate postoperative period, 2) Care in the mediate postoperative period and 3) Transition of Care. Conclusion: although reconstructions with surgical flaps are a consolidated treatment, postoperative care is still incipient in terms of recommended care. There is no consensus on the implementation of care in postoperative management. The monitoring of surgical flaps, clinical or by devices, was the only care considered in all selected publications, considered essential in the postoperative period, regardless of the phase.
