The Doppler and its use in axial flaps.

T R Corwin, H G Bingham

    American Journal of Surgery
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter aids in locating blood vessels for axial flaps. This technology is valuable in microvascular surgery for vessel identification and monitoring flap patency post-anastomosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Locating and assessing blood vessels is crucial for successful flap surgeries.
    • Traditional methods for vessel assessment can be time-consuming and invasive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter in clinical vascular assessments.
    • To determine the effectiveness of this device in microvascular surgery for axial flap viability.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Doppler ultrasonic flowmetry to identify and assess axial blood vessels supplying flaps.
    • Applied the device in various clinical scenarios and microvascular procedures.
    • Monitored vessel patency after anastomosis in island flap transfers.

    Main Results:

    • The Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter proved effective in locating critical blood vessels for axial flaps.
    • The device facilitated vessel identification in microvascular surgery.
    • Continuous monitoring of vessel patency was achievable after flap transfer and anastomosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Doppler ultrasonic flowmetry is a valuable non-invasive tool for vascular assessment in reconstructive surgery.
    • The technology enhances the success rates of axial flap procedures and microvascular anastomoses by ensuring vessel viability.
