a Prospective Study of Surgical Results, Complications and Predictive Values in Chinese Women Breast Reconstruction

LSCI evaluates at 2 timings:immediately after the mastectomy (prior to immediate reconstruction) and again following reconstruction (after the skin was sutured). The perfusion score was calculated by normalizing these values against the perfusion value of a control.

Performed immediately after the mastectomy (prior to immediate reconstruction) .Perfusion scores were determined by comparing the fluorescence intensity of the target area to that of the non-surgical region on the contralateral chest wall.
