[BACKGROUND] Intraoperative free flap failure necessitates prompt intraoperative decision-making on alternative reconstructive strategies. In this study, we investigate the etiology and management of intraoperative flap loss. [METHODS] Ret…

[OBJECTIVE] Salvage laryngectomy is associated with significant reconstructive challenges related to pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) formation and need for secondary reconstruction. This retrospective study evaluates these surgical outcomes…

Free tissue transfer is a very effective reconstructive technique for challenging defects of the head and neck and in many cases the gold standard for congenital facial paralyses and composite defects. Although its use in the pediatric popu…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Radial forearm free flaps represent a workhorse reconstructive modality in microsurgical rehabilitation. The reliable anatomy, availability of thin, pliable tissue, and a long pedicle afford the surgeon a significant latitude o…

Treatment of head and neck cancer with radiation can cause osteoradionecrosis of the mandible (MORN), requiring removal of nonviable bone and free flap reconstruction. To compare surgical outcomes in patients with MORN treated with free ti…

[BACKGROUND] In patients with acquired maxillary defects, obturators are often effective, but some fail, necessitating further surgery, typically via free flap reconstruction. Long-term functional outcomes in these cases are underreported. …

[INTRODUCTION] Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the vascular system, subjecting patients to a hypercoagulable state. This is of particular concern for the success of microvascular free flap reconstruction. This study aims to repo…

[EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE] Assess outcomes of pediatric facial reconstruction with fibula free flaps. [OBJECTIVES] Free flap reconstruction of complex maxillofacial defects in pediatric patients is rare. Post-operative complications, donor si…

Palatal fistulas have significant effects on quality of life. Traditional prosthetic rehabilitation and surgical reconstruction of palate defects in radiation-naïve tissues are well described. However, palatal fistulas developing after init…

[OBJECTIVES] The rectus abdominis myocutaneous free flap has been widely used as a reconstructive option in head and neck reconstruction with great success. Challenging the popular assumption, this study sought to examine the effects of smo…

[OBJECTIVES] Iatrogenic injury of the fibula free flap pedicle is rare. Postoperative flap survival and reconstructive outcomes following intraoperative pedicle severance are unknown. This study assesses free flap outcomes following acciden…

Nonsurgical skin tightening in the neck is an area of significant growth with seemingly countless devices. Optimal treatment choice depends on the patient's concerns, anatomy, and lifestyle. Patients with minimal skin laxity, but dynamic pl…

[OBJECTIVE] Investigate current practice patterns of head and neck microvascular reconstructive surgeons when removing an implantable Doppler after free flap surgery. [STUDY DESIGN] Cross-sectional survey study. [METHODS] Survey distribut…

[IMPORTANCE] Incidence of perioperative free flap compromise is low, with successful salvage in up to 70%. When the flap is compromised a second time, the value of intervening is unknown. [OBJECTIVE] To assess the outcomes of a second reva…

Nonsurgical skin tightening in the neck is an area of significant growth with seemingly countless devices. Optimal treatment choice depends on the patient's concerns, anatomy, and lifestyle. Patients with minimal skin laxity, but dynamic pl…

[BACKGROUND] Fibula free flap (FFF) is the preferred osteocutaneous flap for reconstruction of large head and neck composite defects. There is a paucity of data whether FFF can be performed safely in patients with knee replacement (total kn…

[OBJECTIVE] A paucity of data exists regarding surgical outcomes for patients undergoing total laryngectomy for a dysfunctional larynx. Herein, we present the largest study evaluating the method of closure on postoperative fistula rate and …

Midface reconstruction has been a consistent challenge for reconstructive surgeons even with the significant advances in technology and technique achieved over the recent years. A meticulous preoperative assessment of the patient is require…

Genioplasty is a useful technique employed for both aesthetic and, in the case of obstructive sleep apnea, functional purposes. Mandibular implants similarly represent a powerful tool in the facial surgeons armamentarium. Herein, we review …

The implementation of radiotherapy in the multimodal treatment of advanced head and neck cancer has greatly improved survival rates. In some patients, however, this benefit comes at the potential expense of the tissue surrounding the primar…

Radiation therapy is an important and commonly used treatment modality for head and neck cancers. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a potential debilitating complication of treatment, which most commonly affects the mandible. Management strategie…

Within the past two decades, vascularized facial composite allotransplantation has evolved into a viable option in the reconstructive surgeons' armamentarium for patients with extensive facial disfigurements. As it has expanded the frontier…

Fistulas in head and neck cancer patients are a common and challenging issue. Despite their commonality, there is little consensus regarding optimal treatment strategies or in preventative measures that might be taken preoperatively. A gene…

With advanced head and neck ablative surgery comes the challenge to find an ideal reconstructive option that will optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes. Contemporary microvascular reconstructive surgery with free tissue transfer has be…

Facial paralysis is a devastating condition, encompassing a spectrum of disorders, with resultant psychosocial, functional, and aesthetic sequelae. With this in mind, an individualized treatment approach based on the cause, pattern, and dur…

In this systematic review we aim to (1) describe the anatomy and function of the soft tissue triangle, (2) identify the existing rhinoplasty literature that discusses the role of the soft tissue triangle, (3) provide a summary of the outcom…

Progressive premaxillary retrusion is a common sequela of the facial aging process. In most cases, this manifests with central maxillary recession. Central maxillary insufficiency is also commonly encountered within certain ethnic communiti…
