Abstract
Postoperative control is of great importance for the success of the transfer of axial pattern flaps, replanted fingers, and freely transferred microvascular flaps (4). Therefore, we were interested in testing methods which should allow quick, non-invasive, transcutaneous evaluation of the healing process. For this purpose we investigated whether reflection oximetry of the skin, using a method proposed by Lubbers and Hoffmann (7), was easy to apply and gave sufficiently reliable results without needing recalibration.
