Webinar Overview

Infrared thermography (IRT) offers plastic and reconstructive surgeons a unique, contact-free imaging solution for both planning and monitoring flap procedures. By visualizing temperature variations that correlate with blood perfusion, IRT provides surgeons with immediate insight into vascular integrity, tissue viability, and potential ischemic risks.

This webinar will provide an in-depth look at:

  • The role of IRT in preoperative perforator mapping
  • The use of real-time intraoperative monitoring to guide flap transfer
  • Postoperative perfusion assessment to detect complications early
  • Comparative advantages of IRT over traditional methods such as Doppler ultrasound and indocyanine green angiography
  • Practical implementation tips and clinical case demonstrations

What to Expect

The webinar will demonstrate how infrared thermography supports precision, safety, and efficiency in reconstructive surgery workflows. Participants will learn to apply IRT for flap planning, execution, and follow-up monitoring.

Key Learning Points

  • Preoperative Perforator Mapping: Rapid, non-invasive localization of perforators using IRT.
  • Surgical Strategy Guidance: Optimize flap design and operative approach.
  • Flap Perfusion Monitoring: Real-time assessment of blood flow and early detection of ischemia.
  • Clinical Advantages: Improve accuracy, reduce operative time, and enhance flap survival.
