Abstract

With the technological advances, microsurgery has evolved to the era of supermicrosurgery since its inception. With the popularization of these flaps, proficiency in using tools such as color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) has become crucial. Despite the increased interest, studies regarding the role of ultrasound in microsurgical reconstruction are scarce. Therefore, in this study, we discussed currently available imaging modalities for reconstructive surgeons, types of ultrasound, and the role of ultrasound in microsurgical reconstruction, and made recommendations for ultrasound use in reconstructive surgery.
