A variable gain dermofluorometer with a wide range of sensitivities capable of quantifying fluorescein emission from both skin and muscle was tested in a rat latissimus dorsi island muscle flap model. Quantitative fluorometric readings directly from muscle and skin sites that did not undergo surgery were taken at intervals over 2 hours after intravenous fluorescein injection. Muscle flaps with intact pedicles gave an inflow-outflow pattern. A no-outflow pattern was seen in muscle flaps with ligated pedicle veins and a no-inflow pattern was seen in muscle flaps with ligated pedicle arteries. These patterns were similar to the flow pattern seen with quantitative fluorometric monitoring in flaps with cutaneous components. These results suggest that quantitative fluorometry may be applicable to circulation monitoring in muscle flaps.
