Free tissue transfer is widely used for the reconstruction of complex tissue defects. The
survival of free flaps depends on the patency and integrity of the microvascular anastomosis …

Free tissue transfer is commonly employed in the reconstruction of large or complicated
defects. Postoperative flap failure from microvascular compromise is an uncommon but …

Severe soft tissue defects and amputated digits are clinically common injuries. Primary
treatments include surgical free flap transfer and digit replantation, but these can fail …

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

Flap loss through limited perfusion remains a major complication in reconstructive surgery.
Continuous monitoring of perfusion will facilitate early detection of insufficient perfusion …

Objectives/Hypothesis Despite major advances in the field of head and neck microvascular
free tissue transfer (MFTT) over the past several decades, there are no standardized …

Objectives To compare intraoperative, postoperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of
the submental island pedicled flap (SIPF) to the radial forearm free flap (RFFF). Study …

The planning for successful reconstruction of head and neck defects begins at the very first
meeting with the patient. Evaluation of patients with mandibular and maxillary pathologic …

Background The risk for vascular complications is the highest within the first 24 hours after
