| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After breast cancer surgery, we can perform breast reconstruction by using transplant cutaneous tissue from the back or abdomen. We sometimes conduct microsurgery to do so. However, it is meticulous work and it is difficult to get used to disect vascular structures during harvest free cutaneous flap.
In this study, we develop vasculars navigation system to see through them on tablet PC that can be used in conjunction with computer tomography angiography to provide a detailed three-dimensional image reconstruction.
We try using it for searching perforators in minipigs. We analyzed an accuracy of the navigation device. The difference was only 10 mm, which was acceptable for navigating perforator flap operations. Based on this data, I'd like to apply this device to practice.
