Sample Microsurgery & Free Tissue Transfer Questions
A 52-year-old man is admitted to the ICU after debridement and anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap coverage for a traumatic lower extremity wound. He is a known case of type 2 diabetes mellitus. On postoperative day 1, the surgical team initiates intensive monitoring for early detection of vascular compromise in the flap. Which method of flap monitoring is associated with the highest salvage rate following microvascular compromise?
- A.Clinical monitoring (color, turgor, capillary refill, pinprick)
- B.Angiography
- C.Handheld Doppler
- D.Hyperspectral imaging
- E.Near-infrared spectroscopy
A 52-year-old man undergoes anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap reconstruction for a traumatic lower extremity defect. He is diabetic and admitted to the ICU for flap monitoring. The center has access to advanced monitoring technology, including tissue oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy. Which monitoring method has been shown in recent studies to provide the highest salvage rate by detecting microvascular compromise at the earliest stage?
- A.Clinical monitoring (color, turgor, capillary refill, pinprick)
- B.Angiography
- C.Handheld Doppler
- D.Hyperspectral imaging
- E.Near-infrared spectroscopy
A 32-year-old man undergoes reconstruction for a plantar heel defect after excision of a traumatic scar. The surgeon decides to use a free flap for durable coverage. To improve protective sensation in the reconstructed heel, the surgeon plans to coapt a sensory nerve of the flap to a local sensory nerve of the foot. Which of the following nerves can be used to make the flap sensate?
- A.Anterior tibial nerve
- B.Dorsal cutaneous nerve
- C.Tibial nerve (calcaneal branch)
- D.Sural nerve
