Abstract: 8.00 Novel Perfusion Diagnostics In Reconstructive Surgery: Towards Prediction Of Free Flap Failure

چکیده
IntroductIon: Free flap necrosis has a frequent occurrence and results in high morbidity, however there is still no quantitative method to image and measure perfusion during the operation. Optical techniques could be the answer to this problem. These techniques image perfusion directly during surgery and give a high-resolution and high-contrast image comparable to microscopy. In this study we test the feasibility, validity and reproducibility of four optical techniques: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Sidestream Darkfield Microscopy (SDF), Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and Fluorescence Imaging (FI).

Comparative Perfusion Analysis of Free Muscle-Sparing Versus Pedicle Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (TRAM) Flaps in Vivo in the Peri-Operative and Late Post-Operative Periods
BACKGROUND Current teaching suggests increased perfusion in free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps over pedicled TRAM flaps, broadening indications for its use in high risk patients. This study compared perfusion analysis of free muscle-sparing versus pedicle TRAM flaps in vivo in the peri-operative and late post-operative periods. METHODS The SPY-Elite system using...

Aims and Background: Compromise in blood supply and failure in tissue transfer are associated with excessive resource costs in plastic surgery. The ability to detect impaired blood supply on the table would contribute to major cost savings for the health care system. Indocyanine green imaging (ICGA) holds promise as a simple method with a high sensitivity and specificity for assessing blood flo...

BACKGROUND Large soft tissue defects of ankle and foot always have been challenging to reconstruct. Reverse sural flaps, free flaps have been used for this problem with variable success. Reverse peroneal artery flap is an option to use with reliability without microvascular repair. Connections of peroneal artery around talus and ankle joint are deep and reliable with anterior tibial and post...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Free Flap Perfusion in Case of Prolonged Ischemia Time
In free flap surgery, a clinically established concept still has to be found for the reduction of ischemia-related cell damage in the case of prolonged ischemia. Although promising results using extracorporeal free flap perfusion in the laboratory have been published in the past, until now this concept has not yet paved its way into clinical routine. This might be due to the complexity of perfu...
