Evaluation of the Relationship Between Flap Tension and Tissue Perfusion in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction Using Laser-Assisted Indocyanine Green Angiography

ConclusionsIt was objectively proven that tissue perfusion deteriorates as the tension applied on the flap increases. On the basis of this finding, we can control the amount of inflation volume of the expander or remove the skin in the pre-ischaemic condition to reduce complications of implant-based breast reconstruction.
