The Impact of a Selected Surgical Procedure on Skin Blood Perfusion of the Abdominal Wall Evaluated by Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) for Surgical Wound Infection. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consequences of 3 selected surgical procedures on abdominal wall perfusion in order to help to reduce postoperative complication related to inadequate tissue perfusion. The selected surgical procedures are a) abdominoplasty, b) breast reconstruction with a free flap from the lower abdomen and c) endovascular stenting of an abdominal aorta aneurism. These operations are all standard surgical procedures frequently performed at the University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø. The abdominal wall perfusion will be evaluated with the use of Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT).
