Background: This study aims to characterize the effect of laser-assisted indocyanine green
fluorescence angiography on fat necrosis and flap failure in deep inferior epigastric artery …

Plastic surgery has a long history of innovation expanding the conditions we can treat, and
microsurgical reconstruction has played a pivotal role. Freestyle free flaps now create …

Background: Clinical examination alone is neither sensitive nor specific for predicting flap
necrosis, so several technologies, including indocyanine green angiography, thermal …

Background: During reconstructive breast surgery, intraoperative assessment of tissue
perfusion has been solely based on subjective clinical judgment. However, in the last …

Background: Implant-based reconstruction is the most performed breast reconstruction, and
both subpectoral and prepectoral approaches can lead to excellent results. Choosing the …

Background: Predicting the viability of the skin flaps after mastectomy is of high importance
and significance in immediate breast reconstruction. Numerous methods have been used …

Background: Impaired perfusion of the remaining skin flap after subcutaneous mastectomy
can cause wound-healing disorders and consecutive necrosis. Personalized intraoperative …

Implant-based reconstruction (IBBR) is the most common form of breast reconstruction
performed in the United States. 1 There is much heterogeneity in this practice, with changing …

Background Lower extremity trauma often necessitates reconstruction with flap transfer. One
of the reconstructive goals is a thin soft tissue coverage with appropriate contour. Therefore …

Background: In breast reconstruction, mastectomy and free flaps are susceptible to vascular
compromise and tissue necrosis. The SnapshotNIR device (Kent Imaging, Calgary, AB …
