Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Microcirculatory changes were monitored in the abdominal skin of 20 consecutive patients. Measurements were taken and recorded within four standardized zones covering the skin between the xiphoid process and the upper incisional boundary of the flap (zone 1-4; cranial to caudal).

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: Microcirculatory changes were monitored in the abdominal skin of 20 consecutive patients undergoing breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. Quantitative mapping was performed with laser Doppler perfusion imaging at seven set intervals. Measurements were taken and recorded within four standardized zones covering the skin between the xiphoid process and the upper incisional boundary of the flap (zone 1-4; cranial to caudal).

Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging
20 consequetive cases undergoing breast reconstruction with Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap who had evaluation of the microcirculation of the abdominal skin with laser Doppler perfusion imaging
Laser Doppler perfusion imaging
LDPI is an extension of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and was developed to generate a colour-coded perfusion image in a large area of skin.
