Introduction
Venous anastomosis remains to be a challenging step in microsurgical tissue transfer and venous complications constitute to a common reason for free flap failure. While several studies have compared mechanical vs. hand‐sewn venous anastomoses, there is no large‐series study comparing the type of anastomosis exclusively in DIEP flap breast reconstructions.
Patients and Methods

Background
Color‐coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is useful for perforator flap design showing the highest sensitivity in identifying microvessels. This prospective study evaluates the feasibility of different ultrasound (US) modes applied by the microsurgeon in daily practice suggesting quantifiable reference values.
Methods
Twenty‐four patients aged between 17 and 68 years (mean 43.3 ± 14.2 years)...
