Drain Fluid Amylase as an Early Negative Predictor of Salivary Fistula Following Free Flap Reconstruction.
[OBJECTIVES] Salivary fistula is a known complication following head and neck free flap reconstruction involving the aerodigestive tract. We sought to examine the association between surgical drain fluid amylase and salivary fistula formati…

Two-team approaches in modern head and neck oncologic and reconstructive surgery: ablative considerations.
[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] Two-team approaches to head and neck cancer ablation and free flap reconstruction now occur concurrently in most centers. While the functional outcomes after head and neck ablation and reconstruction are typically examin…

Use of the spider limb positioner for fibular free flap reconstruction of head and neck bony defects.
[BACKGROUND] Osseous and osteocutaneous fibular free flaps are the workhorse of maxillomandibular reconstruction over 30 years after the initial description. Since 2019, we have routinely used the Spider Limb Positioner, adapted from its us…

3D modeling of anterior 2/3rds glossectomy reconstruction: A volume based donor site evaluation.
[OBJECTIVE] Anterior 2/3rds glossectomy results in significant patient morbidity due to speech and swallowing impairment. Microvascular free flap reconstruction compensates for large volume defects. Flap volume is based on the adipose conte…

Association of prealbumin with complications after total laryngectomy with free flap reconstruction.
[OBJECTIVE] Malnutrition is an important risk factor for patient surgical outcomes. This is especially true for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients receiving a total laryngectomy with free flap reconstruction (TLwFFR). Preoperative prealbum…

Bivalirudin for unsalvageable venous congestion or obstruction in head and neck free flap reconstruction.
Microvascular free flap surgery permits single-stage reconstruction of complex head and neck ablative defects. Venous congestion can occur in the early postoperative period, risking partial or total flap loss. While prompt surgical re-explo…
