Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The anterior lateral thigh (ALT) flap's vascular variability can lead to complications. Thus, the accuracy of numerous planning modalities has been studied. The clinical relevance of competing mapping methods, however, remains unknown. Therefore, we compared the impact of color-coded Duplex ultrasonography and handheld audible Dopplers on surgical efficacy and flap safety.
