Background Damage of the vascular system secondary to radical neck dissection and/or
radiotherapy or other treatments has a negative impact on microsurgical reconstruction. The …

In reconstructive surgery, free flap failure, especially in complex osteocutaneous
reconstructions, represents a significant clinical burden. Therefore, the aim of the presented …

Objectives Reconstruction of the midface has many inherent challenges, including orbital
support, skull base reconstruction, optimizing midface projection, separation of the nasal …

Objective Analyze the cause and significance of a shift in the timing of free flap failures in
head and neck reconstruction. Study Design Retrospective multi‐institutional review of …

The simultaneous use of two different free flaps, harvested from distinct donor sites, has
demonstrated a reasonable degree of safety and success rates in head and neck composite …

We describe a risk adjustment algorithm to benchmark and report free flap failure rates after
immediate reconstruction of head and neck defects. A dataset of surgical care episodes for …

Background Understanding factors impacting successful salvage of a compromised free
flap. Methods Multi‐institutional review of free flap reconstructions for head and neck defects …

To reduce microvascular free flap failure (MFF), monitoring is crucial for the early detection
of malperfusion and allows timely salvage. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate …

Objective/Hypothesis For patients undergoing microvascular free tissue transfer (MFTT), we
evaluated risk factors and financial implications of operating room (OR) take‐back …

Purpose The use of nonvascular bone grafts for immediate mandibular reconstruction has
remained a controversial topic. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the …
