[Dorsal flap in laboratory animals. Prediction of its viability].
Various types of flaps were fashioned in the dorsal area of laboratory animals (rabbits). Subjective and objective methods were evaluated as means of prediction of flap viability: superficial cutaneous temperature and cutaneous fluorescence test. It was verified that subjective methods served to help prognosticate flap viability, while superficial cutaneous temperature annotations were unreliable as indicators. Finally, the cutaneous fluorescence test was revealed to be an ideal method of predicting the viability of transferred tissue.
