[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…

[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] GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder associated with hematologic, infectious, and neoplastic complications. We report a case of a patient with GATA2 deficiency who developed aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of th…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess if there is increased risk of free flap failure in renal failure patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction. We seek to primarily assess free flap outcomes based on stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and seco…

[OBJECTIVES] Microvascular free tissue transfer is routinely used for reconstructing midface defects in patients with malignancy, however, studies regarding reconstructive outcomes in invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS) are lacking. We aim to d…

Transoral laser microsurgery represents the primary surgical modality for early laryngeal cancers with oncologic outcomes equivalent to radiotherapy. Accurate tumor mapping and margin assessment can be difficult, however, particularly durin…

[BACKGROUND] Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction is uncommon with limited reported findings. [METHODS] Multicenter, retrospective case series of 49 consecutive adult patients presenti…

[BACKGROUND] This study compares the outcomes of osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OC-RFFF) and fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN). [METHODS] Retrospective review of patients undergoing OC-R…

[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…

[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…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE] To determine if antithrombotic therapy improves head and neck microvascular free flap survival following anastomotic revision. [STUDY DESIGN] A retrospective review of all patients with microvascular free tissue transfer to the…

[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] 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…

Estrogen absorption from the neovagina was studied by administering 2.0 mg of micronized 17 beta-estradiol (E2) neovaginally to 6 patients. The neovagina in each patient was constructed by using the peritoneum from the pouch of Douglas. A m…
