Summary
Local glucose monitoring offers a simple method to assess reconstructive flap viability in dogs. This technique helps differentiate between reversible congestion and critical ischemia, aiding surgical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Vascular compromise threatens reconstructive flap survival.
- Local glucose monitoring is established in human surgery but underutilized in veterinary medicine.
- Objective perfusion assessment is crucial for flap viability.
