The authors concluded that static and dynamic IRT is a promising, objective method for intra-operative and post-operative monitoring of free-flap reconstructions in head and neck surgery and to detect perfusion failure, before macroscopic changes in the tissue surface are obvious. They noted that a lack of significant decrease of the temperature difference compared to surrounding tissue following completion of microvascular anastomoses and an atypical re-warming following a thermal challenge are suggestive of flap perfusion failure. |CPT Codes / HCPCS Codes / ICD-10 Codes| |Information in the [brackets] below has been added for clarification purposes.
