[Ultrasound duplex scanning of head and neck vessels with the aim of preoperational preparation of the patients with inherent microtia of the III degree].
For surgical treatment of patients with inherent microtia of the III degree we use one stage method of otoplasty with silicone implant and parietotemporal fascial flap. In order to receive most full picture of the status of superficial temporal artery and its branches the additional diagnostic study is necessary. Method of ultrasound duplex scanning let to study any vessel in real time regimen under monitor screen control. Received by us results of ultrasound duplex scanning of superficial temporal artery branches in patients with inherent microtia of the III degree let us to conclude about the status of the vessel wall, to determine diameter and vessel occlusion, to evaluate and measure blood flow parameters. It is diagnostically necessary criteria for answering the question about flap vitality and in such a way let to avoid possible complications.
