[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…

[OBJECTIVES] Virtual surgical planning (VSP) allows for optimal reconstruction of maxillary defects with fibula free flaps. Current data are limited regarding long-term complications of patient-specific plates (PSPs) in this setting. Our ob…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap (FF) reconstruction of traumatic injuries to the head and neck is uncommon. [METHODS] Multi-institutional retrospective case series of patients undergoing FF reconstruction for a traumatic injury (n = 103). [RESULTS…

[OBJECTIVE] Assess the long-term plate complications with patient-specific plates (PSPs) created with computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) for fibula free flap reconstructions for mandibular defects. [METHODS]…

[OBJECTIVE] Determine which variables impact postoperative discharge destination following head and neck microvascular free flap reconstruction. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review of prospectively collected databases. [METHODS] Consecuti…

[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…

Free tissue transfer has become the reconstructive modality of choice for replacing composite tissue defects. While the success rate in high-volume centers is reported to be greater than 95%, up to 10% of patients will require revision of t…

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 …

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Complex scalp wounds with cranial/dural involvement are challenging to reconstruct. Successful reconstruction can be achieved with cranial implants/hardware and free flap coverage. Wounds can breakdown and require revision proc…

[BACKGROUND] Perioperative management of advanced osteoradionecrosis of the head and neck requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction varies. Our objectives included assessment of practice patterns and outcomes. [METHODS] Multi-institutional, …

[OBJECTIVE] Determine if age correlated with surgical or medical complications following head and neck free flap reconstruction. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review of prospectively collected databases. [METHODS] Patients undergoing head …

[IMPORTANCE] Surgical site infections (SSIs) after vascularized reconstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) are associated with considerable morbidity. The association between perioperative prophylaxis practices, particularly top…

Reconstruction of mandibular defects is best accomplished by composite bony tissue. When the fibula is not available other sources must be used. Occasionaly tumor recurence will neccesitate a further resection and bony reconstruction. We re…

Large defects that comprise both the maxilla and mandible prove to be difficult reconstructive endeavors and commonly require two free tissue transfers. Three cases are presented to discuss an option for simultaneous reconstruction of maxil…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To review the management of failed free tissue transfers among four large institutions over a 13-year period to provide data and analysis for a logical, algorithmic, experience-based approach to the management of fai…

[OBJECTIVE] To describe the utility of venous flow couplers in monitoring free tissue flaps in the immediate postoperative setting. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective case series. [SETTING] Otolaryngology department at a single tertiary care in…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] The literature on outcomes of end-to-side (ETS) anastomoses for microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck is limited. This series reviews ETS in free tissue transfer (FTT) across multiple institutions to bett…

The mandible is a critical structure of the lower facial skeleton which plays an important role in several vital functions. Segmental resection of the mandible is at times required in patients with advanced oral cavity malignancies, primary…

[OBJECTIVE] Review long-term clinical and quality-of-life outcomes following free flap reconstruction for osteonecrosis. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective multi-institutional review. [SETTING] Tertiary care centers. [METHODS] Patients include…

[OBJECTIVE] To compare morbidity and aesthetic outcomes of full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) and split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) in the reconstruction of the forearm free flap donor site. [STUDY DESIGN] Case series, retrospective char…

[BACKGROUND] Understanding factors impacting successful salvage of a compromised free flap. [METHODS] Multi-institutional review of free flap reconstructions for head and neck defects (n = 1764). [RESULTS] Free flap compromise rate: 9% (n…
