Abstract

There has been an increasing trend in free tissue transplantat ion procedures on children in recent years, with strict blood flow monitoring need ed postoperatively. In this study, we performed blood flow monitoring by means of a met hod for measuring blood glucose level, and compared this to a method utilizing th e INVOS 5100C, and a method utilizing laser Doppler blood flow imaging device. In flap s in which venous thrombosis occur, various alterations in metabolism occur as well as an alteration in glucose metabolism. By using a combination of monitoring method s, it is possible to lower the number of postoperative complications of venous thrombosis in children to nearly zero.
