Reconstructive Tissue Surgery
Conditions
Keywords
tissue perfusion, reconstructive surgery, continuous glucose monitoring
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if 1) a continuous glucose monitoring system can measure glucose levels in transferred tissue during reconstructive surgery, and 2) if glucose measurements from a continuous glucose monitoring system correlate with tissue blood perfusion.
Interventions
one or two monitors will be placed in the tissue to be transferred
