Monitoring oxygen in thigh flaps after reconstructive surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that measures oxygen levels in skin flaps used during reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors ensure the flap is healing well after surgery on an arm or leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for reconstructive surgery on an arm or leg using a skin flap from your thigh
- You agree to have the flap's oxygen levels monitored after surgery
- You are willing to provide written consent to participate

This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in the tissue of skin flaps during plastic surgery. It aims to help doctors monitor blood flow and improve surgical outcomes.
This study looks at how well a bone-free flap heals after head and neck reconstruction, using tiny pressure/fluid sensors (called microdialysis) to monitor healing. It may help surgeons catch healing problems earlier and improve outcomes.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this device can help doctors monitor blood flow more effectively during the operation, which could improve outcomes.
This trial uses a near-infrared light device (NIRS) to monitor blood flow in the new tissue after free flap surgery for head and neck cancer. It helps doctors check that the flap is healing well.
This study measures oxygen levels in tissues during surgery for ovarian cancer that includes heated chemotherapy inside the abdomen. The goal is to understand how oxygen changes during the procedure, which could help improve care.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
