Practicing changing cases using ICG technology in Breast Reconstruction by Sanjay Warrier in BJSTR
Abstract
SPY Elite technology utilizes ICG angiography and is a method of
intra-operative tissue perfusion assessment. In breast reconstructive
surgery, knowledge of skin flap perfusion can assist intra-operative
decision making. Altering the surgical plan accordingly can decrease the
risk
of ischemic complications. The current case series includes six
mastectomy and complex reconstructive operative cases that utilized SPY
Elite
technology. The cases demonstrate how SPY Elite assessment led to
changes in intra-operative decision making in a group of predominantly
high risk patients.
