Digital replantation has recently become a common treatment method, and improvements in surgical techniques have increased its success rate.[1] However, the overall failure rate remains a significant issue. Appropriate measurement of blood flow in transplanted tissue is important to prevent critical circulation failure. Of the various modalities advocated for postoperative monitoring of blood flow, laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is considered useful for assessing interstitial blood flow.[2] [3] The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the utility of LDF for blood flow evaluation and differentiation between ischemia and congestion in replanted digits.
