The Use of Infrared Thermography in Determining Timing for Early Pedicle Division of the Preexpanded Bipedicled Visor Flap after Ischemic Preconditioning

<div>Monitoring of the temperature change during each stage of the operation (temperature threshold: 22-36°C). (a) The baseline temperature after stabilized anesthesia. (b) The temperature after the division of the left pedicle. (c) The temperature after clamping the right pedicle. (d) The temperature after both divisions. (e) The intraoperative flap appearance (the left pedicle was detached). Note that no obvious difference between the postclamping and the postdivision temperature of the flap.</div>
