INTRODUCTION: Early detection of circulatory compromise enables earlier re-exploration and better outcomes, yet clinical signs of vascular obstruction in free tissue transfer are often recognized late.1, 2, 3 The purpose of the study was to evaluate earlier detection of vascular complications using a noninvasive near-infrared tissue oximeter, the ViOptix ODISsey ™ Tissue Oximeter, which captures and graphically displays data
