Intraoperative Tissue Perfusion Measurement by Laser Speckle Imaging: A Potential Aid for Reducing Postoperative Complications in Free Flap Breast Reconstruction.

abstract：:Treatment of wounds has been the cornerstone of plastic surgery since its inception. Vacuum-assisted closure provides a new paradigm that can be used in concert with a wide variety of standard existing plastic surgery techniques. It was originally developed as an alternative treatment for debilitated patients with chr...
