Clinical evaluation is key for post-operative monitoring. Adjunctive Doppler ultrasonography and pulse oximetry aid reliability, but further research is needed for new technologies.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Clinical Monitoring

Background:

  • Current post-operative monitoring relies heavily on direct clinical evaluation due to limitations in available technology.
  • No single device offers complete safety and reliability for clinical monitoring of tissue perfusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability of current clinical monitoring methods.
  • To assess the utility of adjunctive technologies like Doppler ultrasonography and pulse oximetry.
  • To discuss the potential of emerging monitoring techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Direct clinical assessment of flaps and replants.
  • Supplementation with Doppler ultrasonography for buried flaps.
  • Use of pulse oximetry in conjunction with clinical findings for replants.

Main Results:

  • Direct clinical evaluation is considered reliable but is supplemented by other methods.
  • Doppler ultrasonography and pulse oximetry have proven reliable as adjuncts in specific patient groups.
  • A liberal approach to reexploration is maintained when altered tissue perfusion is suspected.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical evaluation remains the primary method for post-operative monitoring.
  • Adjunctive technologies enhance the reliability of monitoring, especially in complex cases.
  • Emerging technologies like laser Doppler and transcutaneous oxygen monitoring show promise but require further validation.
