Published literature has well established the significant costs associated with surgical complications including those related to post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and mastectomy flap and free flap survival1,2,3. In a USA study, the average excess cost associated with a single case of flap necrosis was calculated to be almost $100K per patient3. Many studies have shown that the use of ICG in conjunction with a visualization system, like IC-FlowTM Imaging System, results in reduced failure rates, reduced healthcare costs, and overall better outcomes for patients4,5,6.
