1The other 62 flaps were categorized into the normal BGMI group.
2Conclusion: BGMI immediately after wound closure may be useful to detect initial signs of venous congestion.
3Correlation between BGMI and color difference was analyzed.
4The purpose of this pilot study is to propose a method to detect venous congestion intraoperatively using the blood glucose measurement index (BGMI).
5Eight flaps in which BGMI was less than 0.8 were categorized into the low BGMI group, and additional venous anastomosis using SIEV was conducted.
