A Reliable Method for the Monitoring of Buried Free Flaps Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Background In recent years, there has been a shift toward nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) techniques which often negates the need for reconstruction with exposed cutaneous donor flap tissues. Although techniques for the monitoring of buried flaps have been proposed, none have been able to provide th...
