DISCUSSION: By direct visualisation of the arteries and veins, the exact localisation of fascia penetration can be detected and flaps can then be better designed. Perforators can be centred in the flaps. The course of perforators can be visualised - especially in ALT flaps - and time consuming dissections through muscle can be avoided.
