The purpose of this article is to introduce the use of preoperative ultrasonography to facilitate elevation and to avoid postoperative complications of the SCIP flap.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Preoperative mapping of the SCIA and the superficial circumflex iliac vein (SCIV) using a high-resolution ultrasound system were performed in patients undergoing reconstruction using a free SCIP flap. The skin paddle was designed placing the SCIA and the SCIV in the middle of the flap.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Preoperatively marked SCIA and SCIV were found intraoperatively in all cases. The skin paddle design for sufficient arterial inflow and venous drainage resulted in no postoperative flap complications.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The use of a preoperative high-resolution ultrasound system significantly facilitates elevation of the SCIP flap, notably via the following 2 points: 1) pedicle can always be found under the markings made with preoperative ultrasonography, 2) satisfactory perfusion of the flap can be guaranteed via a safe flap design that includes preoperatively marked vessels within the skin paddle.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1736317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]],"date-time":"2021-10-23T22:31:22Z","timestamp":1635028282000},"page":"217-220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Superficial
