Monitoring oxygen in thigh flaps after reconstructive surgery
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 tests a special light-based tool that checks how well oxygen is getting to the new tissue after your flap surgery. It aims to catch blood flow problems early, which could help prevent complications.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help skin and tissue that did not heal well after breast cancer surgery. It may reduce damage and improve recovery.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring can help doctors better understand blood flow during the operation, which may help 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 is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
This study checks whether a new non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery is accurate in patients having heart surgery. Participating may help improve monitoring during and after surgery, without extra procedures beyond what is already part of your care.
