<scp>“INVOS” WE TRUST</scp>. Tissue Oximetry for Free Flap Monitoring in Lower Limb Reconstruction
Regional tissue oximetry monitoring of lower limb free flaps is a real-time, objective, non-invasive, and reliable method for early detection of complications. This study allows us to affirm that the revisions of the flaps are statistically significantly faster. It also provides valuable information about anastomotic failure, clearly differentiating between arterial and venous issues, as well as identifying local or systemic issues.
