Abstract:
A new, simple method for flap monitoring is presented. Dissecting a superficial flap vein, which is closed by an Acland clamp, and opening the clamp shortly thereafter, allows objective, postoperative flap monitoring. The surgical technique, advantages, and possible difficulties of the procedure are discussed.
