Clinical trials: Free Flaps
Free Tissue Flaps
Detection of Flap Ischemia Using Interstitial Glucose Monitor
A simple device that objectively assesses flap perfusion - either as a stand-alone tool or an adjunct to the current monitoring method - would be a tremendous improvement in detection of early postoperative flap ischemia and, in…

Fibula / Surgery, Surgical Flaps
Novel Application of a Low-cost Alternative to Patient Specific Implants (PSI) in Mandibular Free Fibula Flap Reconstruction by Reverse Engineering of Stock Plates: A Pilot Validation Study
Stock reconstruction plates have been used for decades and represent a tried-and-true alternative to custom plating. Stock plates are readily available, are cost effective, and can be accurately bent before surgery, particularly…

Flap Monitoring
Free Flap Microcirculatory Monitoring Correlates to Free Flap Temperature Assessment
In case of free flap failure, time is of utmost importance as salvage rates have been reported to be inversely related to the time interval between the onset of ischemia and its clinical recognition.
