Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) reduces ischemic complications by assessing mastectomy flap perfusion intraoperatively.
However, outcomes of ICGA can be surgeon-dependent due to its relative novelty.
We aimed to determine whether patient outcomes improved with the adoption of ICGA over time.
We conducted a single-institution retrospective study of mastectomy patients between March 2012 (date of ICGA introduction) and October 2016.
We included patients who underwent immediate expander-based reconstruction with intraoperative ICGA, followed by second-stage permanent implant placement.
