Comparing Functional Outcomes Following TORS With Free Flap Reconstruction Using a Radial Forearm vs. Anterolateral Thigh Flap.
[BACKGROUND] Free flap reconstruction (FFR) following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is commonly performed using radial forearm free flaps (RFFF). This study compares patterns of functional recovery between RFFFs and anterolateral thigh f…

Medicare Utilization and Reimbursement Trends for Free Flaps in Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery, and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Free flap procedures are important components of reconstructive surgery in otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery. This research investigates trends in utilization, charges, and Medicare reimbursements for free flap proc…

Functional Outcomes of Free Flap Reconstruction After TORS in Early-Stage HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer.
[OBJECTIVE] In the unique clinical context of a retropharyngeal carotid artery (RPC), free flap reconstruction (FFR) may be used for small pathologic tumor (pT)1-2 human papillomavirus (HPV)+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) tu…

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…

Chronic Rhinosinusitis Risk after Maxillectomy with Microvascular Reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be associated with tumors involving the maxillary sinus, but outcomes after undergoing maxillectomy with free flap reconstruction remain unclear. [METHODS] A retrospective analysis of medical…

Postoperative analysis of osseous midface reconstructions: The value of imaging and a novel scoring system for complexity and operative success.
[BACKGROUND] Few standardized methods exist for evaluating the postoperative outcomes of osteocutaneous free flaps. We propose an anatomic-based scoring system for midface free flap reconstruction. [METHODS] One hundred and twelve patients…

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 …

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…

Use of the O-Z flap as an alternative to free tissue transfer for reconstruction of large scalp defects.
[OBJECTIVE] The reconstruction of large scalp defects poses both functional and cosmetic challenges. While free tissue transfer remains the standard for defects larger than 30 cm, prolonged anesthesia and postoperative complications remain …
