Abstract

Background Color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is useful for perforator flap design showing the highest sensitivity in identifying microvessels. This prospective study evaluates the feasibility of different ultrasound (US) modes applied by the microsurgeon in daily practice suggesting quantifiable reference values. Methods Twenty-four patients aged between 17 and 68 years (mean 43.3 +/- 14.2 ...
