1. Skin circulation measured by fluorescein flowmetry
Sammanfattning : Fluorescein flowmetry (FF) is an indicator dilution technique using sodium fluorescein as an indicator. If the tissue is illuminated with U-V light or blue light, after a bolus injection of the dye, fluorescence is seen in the tissue, and can be measured either photographically or by the video technique.

2. Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy - A new Treatment Modality in Poststernotomy Mediastinitis
Sammanfattning : Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a devastating complication associated with median sternotomy, which occurs mainly after cardiac surgery. The optimal treatment is still controversial. LÄS MER
3. Microdialysis in reconstructive surgery : a clinical and experimental study focusing on monitoring flap metabolism and viability
Sammanfattning : When flap procedures are used to repair complex tissue wounds adequate flap circulation is of supreme importance. If the circulation is disturbed by either vascular occlusion, hemorrhage, or infection, delayed healing and flap necrosis may ensue. LÄS MER
4. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in flap ischemia and its treatment : an experimental study with emphasis on the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide and spinal cord stimulation on ischemia and manipulation of microcirculation in flaps
Sammanfattning : Flap surgery and microsurgery have expanded the therapeutic options of reconstructive surgery. Partial or total flap necrosis, due to circulatory and metabolic events, is, however, still a significant problem for the plastic surgeon. LÄS MER
5. Pedicled and free TRAM flaps in breast reconstructions : a comparative study
Sammanfattning : The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently used when autologous tissue is desired for breast reconstruction, and it can be transferred pedicled or free. The pedicled TRAM flap is elevated as a lower transverse abdominal flap with the rectus abdominis muscle attached in the epigastric area, by which means the deep superior epigastric vessels nourish the flap.
