Assessment of skin flap viability using visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and auto-fluorescence spectroscopy

The accurate assessment of skin flap viability is vitally important in reconstructive surgery. Early identification of vascular compromise increases the change of successful flap salvage. The ability to determine tissue viability intraoperatively is also extremely useful when the reconstructive surg...
