Comparative Study of Small Vessel (under 0.8  mm) Anastomosed Free Flap and Larger Vessel (over 0.8 mm) Anastomosed Free Flap; Does Supermicrosurgery Provide Sufficient Blood Flow to the Free Flap?

Conclusion Small vessel (<0.8 mm) free flaps showed similar flow velocity and flow volume to larger vessel (>0.8 mm) anastomosed free flaps. Blood flow to the small vessel anastomosed free flap was sufficient despite its small vessel size.
