The use of IR thermography for evaluation of cutaneous flap survival

There are plenty of recent studies showing the influence of different drugs on the survival of the cutaneous flap. The effects of a topically applied capsaicin, methylprednisolon, mitomycin and gastric pentadecapeptide BPC-157 in improving skin vitality and preventing distal flap necrosis were tested in a random-pattern dorsal skin flap model. Infrared termography is non-invasive diagnostic method which offers two-dimensional representation of the surface temperature of the skin. Superficial temperature can be an indicator for the vitality of the skin flap. Infrared termography is reliable method for survival area evaluation of the skin flaps
