## Abstract __Background:__ Free flaps to the lower limb have inherently high venous pressures, potentially impairing flap viability, which may lead to limb amputation if flap failure ensues. Adequate monitoring of flap perfusion is thus essential, with timely detection of flap compromise able to p
## Abstract __Background:__ An important element in achieving high success rates with free flap surgery has been the use of different techniques for monitoring flaps postoperatively as a means to detecting vascular compromise. Successful monitoring of the vascular pedicle to a flap can potentiate r
