Implantable Doppler Probes for Postoperatively Monitoring Free Flaps: Efficacy. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Although clinical assessment remains the gold standard for monitoring the circulation of free flaps, several adjunct techniques promote timely salvage by detecting circulation compromise early. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of an implantable Doppler probe for postoperatively monitoring free flaps. MATERIALS AND METHODS English-language article...
متن کاملPostoperative monitoring of free flaps in autologous breast reconstruction: a multicenter comparison of 398 flaps using clinical monitoring, microdialysis, and the implantable Doppler probe.
Many techniques for flap monitoring following free tissue transfer have been described; however, there is little evidence that any of these techniques allow for greater rates of flap salvage over clinical monitoring alone. We sought to compare three established monitoring techniques across three experienced microsurgical centers in a comparable cohort of patients. A retrospective, matched cohor...
متن کاملThe implantable Cook-Swartz Doppler probe for postoperative monitoring in head and neck free flap reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE To determine if the implantable Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Monitoring System (Cook Vascular Inc, Vandergrift, Pennsylvania) improves surgical salvage rates for compromised free flaps. DESIGN Retrospective medical record review spanning 2002 to 2006 for a large head and neck oncology program. SETTING A tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS A consecutive series of 351 patients (244 men a...
متن کاملAbstract: Revolutionizing Remote Monitoring of Free Flaps with Laser Doppler Flowmetry and Smart Devices
INTRODUCTION: Lymphoscintigraphy is the gold-standard test for diagnosing lymphedema, and is 96% sensitive for detecting the disease. The major abnormal lymphoscintigraphic findings on the test include delayed transit time to the inguinal or axillary lymph nodes (>1 hour) and dermal backflow. A universal protocol for the test does not exist, our protocol obtains images at 1, 2, and 4 hour inter...
متن کاملGreen light photoplethysmography monitoring of free flaps.
BACKGROUND Monitoring strategies have been developed to address the issue of detecting postoperative free flap ischemia in an effort to permit intervention and flap salvage. No one existing noninvasive method has been widely accepted in a clinical setting. Green light photoplethysmography (GLP) uses a diode to transmit green light into a tissue. Reflected light from hemoglobin in dermal capilla...
