✦ Synopsis

A simple and effective method of monitoring a free skin flap transfer when the flap skin color is white in spite of having a good blood circulation is described. It is easy to confirm that the anastomosed vessels are patent or not by visualizing the flap skin color, because erythema will appear after topical application of dinitrochlorobenzene even if skin color is white.
