[OBJECTIVE] Methods used in assessing decannulation timing after head and neck reconstruction vary widely. In this study, we examined the effect of implementation of a standardized post-operative tracheostomy decannulation protocol on our p…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to evaluate the success rates and complications associated with different free flap donor sites used in surgical reconstruction for mandibular osteoradionecrosis, providing insights to aid clinical decision-makin…

[OBJECTIVES] The location of the angular branch is highly variable. Preoperative imaging localization could provide clinical value in scapular flap harvest. [METHODS] Surgical and radiographic case series at an academic, tertiary care cent…

[OBJECTIVE] The vascular anatomy of the proximal subscapular artery has been previously classified into 2 major types depending on the presence of a common subscapular trunk. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility, reliabili…

[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…

[OBJECTIVES] Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) creates individualized surgical plans for free flap reconstruction of mandibular defects. Prior studies indicate that VSP can offer cost benefits due to reduced operative time and length of stay …

Introduction Head and neck cancer with mandibular invasion often necessitates composite resection, leading to defects requiring reconstruction. Microvascular fibula free flap (FFF) surgery is a common approach for this purpose. In this stud…

[OBJECTIVE] Investigate the impact of patient risk factors and blood transfusions in Head and Neck free flap surgeries. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective chart review. [SETTING] Single tertiary referral center. [METHODS] 400 patients were inc…

[OBJECTIVE] Evaluate the effect of functional status and patient factors on delays in treatment with adjuvant therapy. [METHODS] Retrospective chart review (2020-2022) was conducted at a single tertiary referral center. Data were collected…

[PURPOSE] The osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap has gained popularity as a less morbid option for oromandibular reconstruction compared to the fibular free flap. However, there is a paucity of data regarding direct outcome comparison …

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the postoperative and 1-year functional outcomes after free flap surgery among patients ≥80 years old. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective chart review. [SETTING] Single tertiary care center. [METHODS] We conducted a ret…

[OBJECTIVE] To describe the role and efficacy of bedside neck exploration following free tissue transfer. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective case series. [SETTING] Single tertiary care institution. [METHODS] A retrospective chart review was co…

[OBJECTIVE] Venous insufficiency occurs in radial forearm free flaps (RFFFs) when either the deep venous system (DVS) or superficial venous system (SVS) is used as the venous outlet. We report our experience using the antecubital perforatin…

[OBJECTIVE] Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion have become a common intervention for cervical spine stabilization. However, complications can cause life-threatening morbidity. Among them, esophageal perforation is associated with sever…

[IMPORTANCE] Continuous vasopressor use in free-flap reconstruction is a point of contention among microvascular surgeons despite data demonstrating safety. [OBJECTIVE] To investigate the association between continuous vasopressor use and …
