Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap Elevation Using Preoperative High-Resolution Ultrasonography for Vessel Mapping and Flap Design.

 The use of a preoperative high-resolution ultrasound system significantly facilitates elevation of the SCIP flap, notably via the following 2 points: 1) pedicle can always be found under the markings made with preoperative ultrasonography, 2) satisfactory perfusion of the flap can be guaranteed via a safe flap design that includes preoperatively marked vessels within the skin paddle.
