Background Free flaps for soft tissue coverage of the lower extremity can be broadly divided
into muscle/musculocutaneous and fasciocutaneous flaps. The purpose of this systematic …

Continuous, real-time monitoring of perfusion after microsurgical free tissue transfer or solid
organ allotransplantation procedures can facilitate early diagnosis of and intervention for …

With a growing focus on properties of softness, miniaturization, and intelligence, extensive
research has been focusing on constructing wearable electronic devices facilitating comfort …

Background Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) involves transplanting a
functional and anatomically complete tissue graft, such as a hand or face, from a deceased …

Background Commercially available near infrared spectroscopy devices for continuous free
flap tissue oxygenation (StO 2) monitoring can only be used on flaps with a cutaneous …

Breast reconstructive surgery utilizing free tissue transfer has revolutionized the restoration
of aesthetic and functional outcomes for patients. Even for the most routine free flap …

Background Designing a skin flap that perfectly covers the anatomical and dynamic
