Area of Science:

Microsurgical reconstruction
Digital imaging in medicine
Vascular anatomy

Background:

Traditional flap design relies on 2D imaging.
Advancements in microsurgery require more precise planning tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore digitalized techniques for saphenous artery flap visualization.
To assess the application of 3D modeling in flap design and surgery.

Main Methods:

Utilized CT scanning of cadaver specimens and patients.
Created 3D models of saphenous artery anatomy using Amira software.
Applied 3D reconstructions for surgical planning and execution in six cases.

Main Results:

3D models accurately displayed saphenous artery flap anatomy.
Surgical findings correlated with 3D model predictions.
All six flaps survived, with good functional outcomes and no infections post-surgery.

Conclusions:

Preoperative 3D virtual planning significantly improves saphenous artery flap surgery.
Digitalized techniques enhance surgical accuracy and flap survival.
This approach offers a valuable tool for complex reconstructive procedures.
