14th The Future of Surgery：”Echoes of Flow: A New Technology for Mapping Blood Vessel Architecture through Blood Flow Sounds”
Welcome to the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium. Headed by Dr. Isao Koshima, the Consortium was established to advance and promote the field of supermicrosurgery, from both clinical and industrial perspectives. MIRAI Medtech is a funding support partner.Since 2020, the Consortium have been holding regularly scheduled Virtual Conferences in Japan. Experts in medicine and engineering are invited to discuss cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies with one another, by challenging the paradigm separating specialties. Our conferences typically host about fifty individuals. Participants are surgeons and clinicians, researchers, and device engineers. We also encourage and welcome participation by manufacturers and dealers of medical devices. During 2021, the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium started English-based virtual events for international participants.

Summary
The optoacoustic imaging developed through industry-academia-government collaboration at Kyoto University, spearheaded by Dr. Itaru Tsuge and his colleagues, involves placing the required transplantation sites on a measurement surface filled with water. By capturing the sound of blood flow with 512 acoustic sensors, this technique intricately delineates the network of blood vessels in three dimensions. This three-dimensional vascular image allows for color coding corresponding to depth, enabling precise determination of the selection of blood vessels and skin for transplantation, thus reducing the number of transplantations needed.
Dr. Toushirou Mese will present the current status of lymphedema treatment and the photoacoustic imaging device based on images obtained before and three months after lymphaticovenous bypass surgery, as well as future utilization methods.
In Professor Isao Koshima’s opening lecture, the focus will be on topics such as lymphatic vessel transplantation, ultrasound lymphatic perforator mapping, lymphedema, and objective evaluation using bioimpedance. The latest research findings and clinical applications in these areas will be presented.
