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.

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.
