BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Free flap reconstruction in patients with head and neck
cancer carries a risk of postoperative complications, and radiologic predictive factors have …

Head and neck surgical reconstruction is complex, and postoperative imaging interpretation
is challenging. Surgeons now use microvascular free tissue transfer, also known as free …

Objectives: Free tissue reconstruction of the head and neck must be initially overcorrected
due to expected postoperative free flap volume loss, which can be accelerated by adjuvant …

Objective To identify post-operative computed tomography (CT) findings associated with
delayed flap failures following head and neck cancer surgery. Materials and Methods We …

Objective To investigate causes of failure of free flap reconstructions in patients undergoing
reconstruction of head and neck defects. Study Design Case series with chart review …

Microvascular free flaps are frequently used for head and neck reconstruction after prior
neck dissection (ND) and neck irradiation (RTX). The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Background Free-flap reconstruction for recurrent head and neck cancer may be
challenging depending on the previous treatments, those are, chemotherapy, radiotherapy …

Objective Microvascular free tissue transfer is an important reconstructive option for defects
of the head and neck. The present study aims to identify preoperative patient‐and tumor …

In patients with head and neck cancer, posttreatment imaging can be complicated and
difficult to interpret because of the complexity of the surgical procedures performed and the …

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 …
