Table 3 Number of patients with complications, by ischemia assessment method

Assessment method	Patients with complications
SPY
Ischemia present, N (%)	5 (71.4)*
No ischemia detected, N (%)	2 (28.6)**
Clinical assessment
Ischemia present, N (%)	0 (0.0)
No ischemia detected, N (%)	7 (100)
Total patients with complications, N (%)	7 (100)

Note: percent of patients with complications by assessment method and presence of ischemia/total number of patients with complications (N = 7).
* Complications in these patients included flap necrosis (n = 4) and suture failure (n = 1).
** Complications in these patients included hematoma (n = 1) and cellulitis and seroma (n = 1).
