Imaging for Reconstructive Microsurgery

Imaging in Reconstructive Microsurgery represents the first book in its kind the the Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Community. This books includes all the imaging modalities available for plastic and reconstructive surgeons which adds major steps in the daily clinical practice. Most of these imaging modalities can and should be used by the operating surgeon her/himself to exponentially enhance and empower the clinical practice. This book provides step-by-step description of all the state-of-art imaging modalities for both perforator flap and lymphatic surgery, with the aim to provide a daily reference to colleagues who are novel to these procedures and for those who are looking forward to improve their practice. Encorporating imaging technology in clinical practice represents a paradigm shift in daily clinical practice with major enhancement of safety, minimal invasiveness and creativity finally leading to a next generation reconstructive approach. We believe that those imaging modalities will guide us to the future of microsurgery and super- microsurgery. This book will be the beginning of reader’s new journey.
