the product of my expertise and passion in anatomy and reconstructive microsurgery. I have been pursuing microsurgery for head to toe reconstruction for the past 30 years in Asia, Europe, and the USA. When performing microsurgical flaps, the overall tendency, especially among trainees, is to focus on the flap anatomy and dissection. An area of reconstructive microsurgery that has not been emphasized enough is the selection of recipient vessels and their surgical exposure for microvascular anastomosis. The approach I took was to cover more commonly used recipient sites and shed light on less frequently used ones combining anatomy and reconstructive microsurgery. The goal of this book is to highlight these aspects of reconstructive microsurgery with an emphasis on the recipient vasculature and to supplement the existing literature in this regard.
