Importance Head and neck cancers often require complex, labor-intensive surgeries,
especially when free flap reconstruction is required. Enhanced recovery is important in this …

Background: Enhanced recovery following surgery can be achieved through the introduction
of evidence-based perioperative maneuvers. This review aims to present a consensus for …

Background: Microsurgical free tissue transfer has become an increasingly valuable

Plastic surgery has a long history of innovation expanding the conditions we can treat, and
microsurgical reconstruction has played a pivotal role. Freestyle free flaps now create …

Background The use of vasopressors in free flap surgery has traditionally been avoided due
to the presumed risk of pedicle vasospasm leading to flap failure. However, there is a lack of …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of perioperative fluid
administration on the rates of postoperative complications following head and neck …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: The primary objective of the study was to determine the
frequency of intraoperative vasopressor administration among patients undergoing free …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the influence of perioperative fluid
management and administration of vasopressors on early surgical revision and flap-related …

Learning Objectives After reading this article, the participant should be able to (1) outline the
rationale for different perioperative types of fluid therapy in free flap surgery and identify the …
