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…

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.
