Thin and superthin perforator flap elevation based on preoperative planning with ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound.

In conclusion, UHF-US was found to be very useful in the preoperative planning of thin and superthin free flaps, as it allows precise anticipation of very superficial microvascular anatomy. UHF-US may represent the next frontier in thin, superthin, and pure skin perforator flap design. PMID: 32718115 [PubMed]
