Use of Tranexamic Acid in Head and Neck Free Flap Reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used in surgical settings to reduce blood loss. Due to its antifibrinolytic properties, TXA theoretically increases the risk of thrombosis. In this study, the use of TXA was assessed in patie…

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…

Incidence, Morbidity, and Mortality of Pulmonary Complications in Free Flap Reconstruction: Limitations of Predictive Models.
[OBJECTIVE] Herein, we evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic implications of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in head and neck microvascular free flap (MVFF) reconstruction. Current prediction models were assessed…

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…
