DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000010307
Abstract: BACKGROUND Postoperative free flap monitoring is a critical part of reconstructive microsurgery. However, postoperative clinical assessments rely heavily on specialty-trained staff. Therefore, in regions with limited specialists, the feasibility of performing microsurgery is restricted. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1130566
Abstract: Free tissue transfer is widely used for the reconstruction of complex tissue defects. The survival of free flaps depends on the patency and integrity of the microvascular anastomosis. Accordingly, the early detection of vascular comprise… read more here.
