Abstract
Mobile high-resolution gray-scale US, combined with color Doppler US, was confirmed to be accurate and promises to be a valuable noninvasive tool for the immediate postoperative assessment of pedicle and intrathoracic omental flap perfusion and viability. It may also avert unnecessary and difficult surgical revision of an elegant but sensitive flap reconstruction.
