Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

We reported on the superiority of preoperative Duplex mapping ("Duplex") over audible Dopplers ("Doppler") in anterolateral thigh perforator (ALT) free flaps for upper extremity reconstruction. To corroborate our findings on a larger cohort, we conducted this present study focusing on surgical efficiency and patient safety.
