简介
Objective
To identify practices in microvascular techniques in routine and challenging scenarios.
Study Design
Cross‐sectional study.
Methods
A national survey addressing practices related to microvascular free flap reconstruction was distributed to AHNS members between October and November 2021.
Results
The respondents encompassed 95 microvascular surgeons. Median years of practice was 6 (interquartile range, 2–13) and median flaps per year was 35 (22–50). Common practices in arterial anastomosis included limited cleaning of artery (84.2%), use of a double approximating clamp (64.2%), and use of interrupted suture (88.4%). Common practices in venous anastomosis included limited cleaning (89.5%), downsizing the coupler (53.7%), and coupling to two independent venous systems (47.4%).
