Clinical use of nerve stimulation and recording techniques.

The use of nerve stimulating and recording techniques intraoperatively contributes to clinical assessment of peripheral nerve injuries in certain reconstructive procedures. Unfortunately, the electrical technology required to perform these tests often discourages the clinician from its common usage. Twenty-two patients were studied. Eight patients had stimulation only of motor or sensory fascicles performed to enhance alignment. In 14 patients, stimulation and recording techniques were utilized to evaluate neuroma incontinuities or brachial plexus injuries. In 5 of these 14 patients, the intraoperative determinations altered or aided the surgical management. The parameters of electrical safety, estimated costs, and illustrated clinical applications are outlined.

Hemodynamic and histologic changes following microarteriorrhaphy.

One method for objectively assessing microcirculatory hemodynamics is to determine flow velocity using an ultrasound flow probe. The velocity acceleration measured at the site of repair was previously thought to be caused by stenosis. This study failed to demonstrate anastomotic narrowing and, more important, failed to predict delayed vascular thrombosis. The persistent problem of delayed microvascular thrombosis following replantation and even free-tissue transfer emphasizes the importance of continuing the search for an objective, intraoperative method of detecting venous and arterial repairs that are likely to develop delayed thrombosis.
