Quantization of extraoral free flap monitoring for venous congestion with deep learning integrated iOS applications on smartphones: a diagnostic study.

Journal: International journal of surgery (London, England)
PMID: 37055021

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Free flap monitoring is essential for postmicrosurgical management and outcomes but traditionally relies on human observers; the process is subjective and qualitative and imposes a heavy burden on staffing. To scientifically monitor and quantify the condition of free flaps in a clinical scenario, we developed and validated a successful clinical transitional deep learning (DL) model integrated application.
