Flow-Through Flaps as a Robust Method for Advanced Free Flap Reconstruction in the Head and Neck: A Multi-Institutional Experience.
[BACKGROUND] Flow-through flaps (FTFs) are an advanced technique in which a free flap is anastomosed to the pedicle of another free flap to reconstruct extensive head and neck defects when recipient vessels are scarce. [METHODS] A multi-in…

Impact of the "July effect" in head and neck microvascular reconstruction: A retrospective review.
[OBJECTIVE] The "July effect," a theory that the beginning of the academic year has worse operative outcomes and complication rates, remains controversial. We evaluated the "July effect" as a risk factor for negative operative outcomes in h…

Post-operative Monitoring for Head and Neck Microvascular Reconstruction in the Era of Resident Duty Hour Restrictions: A Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing 2 Monitoring Protocols.
[OBJECTIVES] To determine whether 2 different methods of post-operative head and neck free flap monitoring affect flap failure and complication rates. [METHODS] A retrospective chart review of 803 free flaps performed for head and neck rec…

Association of Head and Neck Anatomic Zones with Microvascular Reconstruction Outcomes.
Head and neck free flap survival relies on adequate tissue perfusion from the external carotid artery (ECA), and vessel length is inversely proportional to blood flow rate. Investigate whether distance from the ECA (as a proxy for pedicle …

Gender Differences Among Head and Neck Microvascular Reconstructive Surgeons.
[OBJECTIVE] To determine whether gender differences exist in the training history, practice patterns, and home lives of surgeons who perform microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck. [STUDY DESIGN] Cross-sectional survey. [SETTIN…

Reconstruction following transoral robotic surgery for head and neck cancer: Systematic review.
We performed a systematic review to characterize reconstructive modalities and postoperative surgical outcomes following TORS resection. A search of the PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE databases was conducted to identify studies describing patie…

Assessment and Comparison of Three Dimensional Exoscopes for Near-Infrared Fluorescence-Guided Surgery Using Second-Window Indocyanine-Green.
[OBJECTIVE] Compared to microscopes, exoscopes have advantages in field-depth, ergonomics, and educational value. Exoscopes are especially well-poised for adaptation into fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) due to their excitation source, lig…
