Infrared Thermography for Early Detection of Vascular Compromise in Microvascular and Pedicled Flap Reconstruction
IRT enables earlier detection of vascular compromise compared with conventional clinical methods, potentially improving flap salvage rates. Integration of IRT into standard monitoring protocols may enhance patient outcomes following microvascular and pedicled flap reconstruction.
