The purpose of this study is to determine whether fluorescence angiography is an effectiveness technique for the localization of vascular perforators and their area of perfusion and for the postoperative monitoring of flap perfusion.
Reconstructive surgery is intended to replace amputated anatomical regions by autologous tissue taken from distant locations: flaps. The goal is to restitute ad integrum with minimal sequelae. Among the flaps available, perforator flaps have the advantage of being highly plastic, large and can be taken from accessory vessels the loss of wich does not compromise the vitality of the sampling site. However their more variable anatomy requires irradiating preoperative morphological assessment (CT angiography) or a doppler ultrasonography that is not always performed by the surgeon himself and does not distinguish between muscle perforator and skin perforator.
Fluorescence angiography is a superficial exploration technique of vascularization. After intravenous injection of a tracer (indocyanine green ICG), fluorescence angiography provides useful surface angiographic imaging in real-time. It can also help in monitoring intraoperative and postoperative quality of vascular anastomoses. Although fluorescence angiography has numerous applications (ophthalmology, neurosurgery, liver transplantation...), its usefulness in surgical flaps is only supported by a few publications. None really validate its clinical value by comparing it to reference investigations (CT angiography or doppler ultrasonography).
40 candidate for reconstructive surgery will be included in this study. The day before surgery, in addition to the usual technique used to locate perforator flaps, the patient will receive an injection of 0.025 mg / kg Infracyanine® (indocyanine green) and the area of interest of the flap will be explored with the Fluobeam™ camera.
Two hours after the surgery, during the usual clinical monitoring of the vitality of the flap, a new injection of Infracyanine® will test perfusion of the flap by measuring fluorescence intensity of the target area. These measurement will then be repeated every 6 hours for 4 days.

| Intraoperative monitoring of the quality of micro-vascular anastomoses using fluorescent angiography | Intraoperative monitoring of vascular flow through the micro-anastomoses will be determined by:
| Just after micro-vascular anastomoses |
| Postoperative monitoring of flap perfusion using fluorescence angiography | This is to test the hypothesis that the dynamics of the fluorescence intensity in the area of interest is a prognostic factor for postoperative complications. | Every six hours for four days after surgery |
