Composite flaps used in reconstructive surgery may intra- and postoperatively suffer from hypoperfusion and/or ischemia-reperfusion influencing wound healing. We aimed to follow-up the effect of ischemia on adipocutaneous flaps' wound healing and microcirculation.
In anesthetized rats groin flaps were formed bilaterally. In Control group the flaps were repositioned and sutured back. In Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) group before repositioning and suturing the flap pedicles were clamped for 60 minutes. Laser Doppler (LD) fluxmetry and temperature probes were applied on the cranial, central and caudal flap regions before/after preparation and ischemia, re-suturing, and on the 1st-3rd-5th-7th-14th postoperative days, before the final examinations and biopsies for histology.
Flaps' skin temperature quickly recovered after repositioning. LD values were lower in the I/R group, reaching a significant level by the 3rd postoperative day, and remained lowered till the 14th day. The magnitude of alterations differed in the flap regions. Histologically normal wound healing process was seen, except for some I/R flaps, where hypertrophized mammary glands were found.
Short-term ischemia could influence flap microcirculation and wound healing, and may result in hypertrophized mammary glands. Laser Doppler could be used to evaluate intra- and postoperative microcirculatory changes and may have significance in predicting complications.
用于重建手术的复合皮瓣在术中和术后可能会出现灌注不足和/或缺血再灌注,影响伤口愈合。我们旨在随访缺血对脂肪皮肤皮瓣伤口愈合和微循环的影响。
在麻醉的大鼠双侧形成腹股沟皮瓣。对照组将皮瓣重新定位并缝合回去。在缺血再灌注(I/R)组中,在重新定位和缝合之前,将皮瓣蒂夹闭60分钟。在制备和缺血前后、重新缝合时以及术后第1、3、5、7、14天,在最终检查和组织学活检之前,对皮瓣的头侧、中央和尾侧区域应用激光多普勒(LD)血流仪和温度探头。
重新定位后皮瓣的皮肤温度迅速恢复。I/R组的LD值较低,术后第3天达到显著水平,并一直降低到第14天。皮瓣各区域的变化幅度不同。组织学上可见正常的伤口愈合过程,但一些I/R皮瓣除外,在这些皮瓣中发现了乳腺增生。
短期缺血可影响皮瓣微循环和伤口愈合,并可能导致乳腺增生。激光多普勒可用于评估术中和术后的微循环变化,对预测并发症可能具有重要意义。
