Abstract
Abstract: Ultrasound scanning is a noninvasive, radiation-free imaging modality, which allows real-time evaluation of anatomical structures and pathology. It has a variety of uses in plastic surgery, including evaluation of structural hand injuries, preoperative perforator mapping, postoperative monitoring, clinical evaluation of breast implants, assessment of soft tissue infections and collections, foreign bodies, and performing regional blocks. The Ultrasound for Plastic Surgeons course held in Manchester familiarizes attendees with the physics of ultrasound and ultrasound technique including probe selection and patient positioning. It includes teaching on using ultrasound for specific purposes such as imaging upper limb and breast pathology, performing regional blocks and flap perforator mapping. Overall, it was a unique and high-quality educational experience, supported by experienced faculty with plenty of opportunity to consolidate skills. This course is recommended to plastic surgery trainees interested in developing the requisite skills to perform ultrasound scanning to support their diagnostic and procedural skills.
期刊介绍：
The only independent journal devoted to general plastic and reconstructive surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery serves as a forum for current scientific and clinical advances in the field and a sounding board for ideas and perspectives on its future. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, brief communications, case reports, and notes in all areas of interest to the practicing plastic surgeon. There are also historical and current reviews, descriptions of surgical technique, and lively editorials and letters to the editor.
