Since microvascular procedures are gaining in importance in reconstructive surgery, the need for a specialised monitoring system for detection of vascular compromise, is obvious and storage of data is obligatory. Such a system should be reliable and easy to use. For monitoring purposes, the skin tem

Although tourniquets play an integral role in extremity surgery, no clear guidelines exist for the use of tourniquets in microsurgery. We undertook a study in 12 healthy volunteers to better understand the coagulation properties of blood distal to an inflated tourniquet. At a 15-min inflation time,
## Abstract The patency rates of arterial grafts preserved by immersion in 70% alcohol and arterial grafts preserved by ficin digestion and dialdehyde tanning were compared with the patency rate of fresh autogenous vein grafts in 5βmm defects in the femoral arteries of 50 rats. The overall patency
## Abstract In light of recent research dealing with the proaggregatory and antiaggregatory effects of prostaglandins on the primary hemostatic event of platelet aggregation, we suggest that patency in microvascular surgery be viewed from a new perspective. The sequence of events in platelet aggreg
## Abstract Microvascular reconstruction of head and neck defects can be extremely challenging in patients with a history of prior neck dissection and/or irradiation. We reviewed of 261 head and neck free flaps performed between 2004 and 2007 at a tertiary cancer center. One hundred twentyβfour (52
