## Abstract Preoperative imaging is sought prior to DIEA (Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery) perforator flaps due to the potential for maximizing operative success and minimizing operative complications. Recent advances include the use of computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) and magnetic resona

## Abstract __Background:__ Breast reconstruction is increasingly performed with the use of the abdominal wall donor site, with potential complications including donor site morbidity and impaired flap viability. As a tool for selecting the optimal perforators which will ultimately supply the flap,
## Abstract Preoperative imaging of the donor site vasculature for deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) perforator flaps and other abdominal wall reconstructive flaps has become more commonplace. Abdominal wall computed tomography angiography (CTA) has been described as the most accurate and repr
Microvascular surgery for the reconstruction of the hepatic artery in living donor liver transplantation is discussed from the microsurgeon's point of view. A refined operative procedure to improve the safety of the anastomosis is described. In living donor liver transplantation, the hepatic artery
## Abstract ## Purpose Gallbladder perforation is a dreaded complication of acute cholecystitis that is associated with a high mortality rate. Early detection of gallbladder perforation reduces the associated mortality and morbidity rates. The purpose of this study was to highlight the role of son
