Advancements in free flap monitoring in the last decade: a critical review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although postoperative monitoring of microsurgical reconstruction is key to discovering early vascular compromise, monitoring a buried flap can be problematic. METHODS:A single surgeon's tracheal and pharyngoesophageal reconstructions with fasciocutaneous free flaps performed between 2002 and 2007 are revie...
