Developed by VCHRI researchers Drs. Babak Shadgan & Donald Anderson, a new implantable tissue monitoring technology is a game changer for head, neck & other reconstructive surgeries:
Advanced surgical tissue flap monitoring for early intervention
A new implantable tissue monitoring technology could be a gamechanger for complex head and neck reconstructive surgery, as well as other surgeries. Developed by Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) researchers Drs. Babak Shadgan and Donald Anderson, the microvascular free tissue transfer Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTT-NIRS) sensor system could reduce the number of revision surgeries needed for invasive skin flap transplants.
