[OBJECTIVES] Long-term aesthetic outcomes following head and neck (HNC) microvascular free flap reconstruction are poorly understood. As patient survival improves for HNC, it is critical to understand the impact of surgical treatment upon a…

Computer-aided design and manufacturing can enhance microvascular mandible reconstruction, particularly in cases with preexisting segmental defects or exophytic tumors where precise in situ plate bending is difficult. However, its high cost…

Retrospective cohort study. To (1) assess post-operative quality of life (QOL) and functional outcomes of fibula free flap (FFF) donor sites, (2) examine the incidence of post-operative claw toe deformities (CTDs) following FFF harvest, an…

[BACKGROUND] There are no current best practice guidelines for management of pharyngoesophageal perforation (PEP), a rare complication of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). We describe our institution's experience with free fla…

Gender-affirming facial surgery is increasing in prevalence, and rhinoplasty plays an integral role in its success. The nose displays considerable gender dimorphism, and maneuvers performed during gender-affirming rhinoplasty may differ con…

[OBJECTIVES] To evaluate the impact of transfemale gender-affirming rhinoplasty on nasal appearance as evaluated by common facial analysis measures. [METHODS] Retrospective case series of patients undergoing gender-affirming nasal surgery …

[OBJECTIVE] To measure the increase in effective pedicle reach with microdissection of musculocutaneous perforators during anterolateral thigh (ALT) free tissue harvest. [METHODS] A review of our institution's free flap database was perfor…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate postoperative hematoma and takeback rates in a large series of microvascular reconstructions. We sought to determine whether the use of ultrasonic shears reduced these rates. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective cohort stud…

[BACKGROUND] Complications following head and neck microvascular free tissue transfer (MFTT) are common. Less is known about when they occur. [METHOD] Retrospective study of patients with primary or recurrent head and neck cancer undergoin…

The factors that contribute to postoperative trismus after mandibulectomy and fibula free flap reconstruction (FFFR) are undefined. We retrospectively assessed postoperative trismus (defined as a maximum interincisal opening ≤35 mm) in 106 …

An anterior thigh split thickness skin graft (AT-STSG) is frequently needed to close the radial forearm free flap (RFFF) donor site, conferring morbidity to two extremities. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap is virtually always closed…

Parotidectomy defects can leave patients with considerable functional and cosmetic deformities. We aim to compare the success rates and complications associated with vascularized versus nonvascularized adipofascial grafts for reconstruction…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative seroma is the most common donor site complication following anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap harvest for head and neck reconstruction. The utility of novel microporous polysaccharide hemospheres (MPH) has not b…

Anterolateral thigh (ALT) microvascular free tissue transfer is an integral part of head and neck reconstructive surgery, but it can be complicated by postoperative donor site fluid collections. To measure the rate of hematoma and seroma f…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To quantify the degree of color match achieved during microvascular facial reconstruction, and to describe a novel technique for improving reconstructive skin color match. We hypothesize that split-thickness skin gra…

Gender-affirming facial surgery (GFS) is pursued by transgender individuals who desire facial features that better reflect their gender identity. Currently, there are a few objective guidelines to justify and facilitate effective surgical d…

[OBJECTIVE] Papaverine is a topical vasodilator commonly used during microvascular surgery to inhibit undesired vasoconstriction. A previous national shortage of papaverine prompted evaluation of an alternative, effective vasodilator. This …

[OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS] For patients undergoing microvascular free tissue transfer (MFTT), we evaluated risk factors and financial implications of operating room (OR) take-back procedures. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review at a tertiary c…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To better understand aesthetic patient-reported outcomes and psychosocial quality of life (QOL) after head and neck microvascular reconstruction for benign or malignant tumors. [STUDY DESIGN] Single-center prospecti…

Radical parotidectomy may result from treating advanced parotid malignancies invading the facial nerve. Survival is often enhanced with multimodality treatment protocols, including postoperative radiation therapy. In addition to the reconst…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To assess the accuracy and utility of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting head and neck cancer (HNC) recurrence after microvascular r…

Aesthetically pleasing and functionally stable total maxillectomy reconstruction is among the greatest of challenges within head and neck surgery. Maintaining presurgical midface projection, contour, and cheek volume requires high-fidelity …

[IMPORTANCE] The fibula free flap donor site is associated with both short-term and long-term morbidity. Split-thickness skin graft (STSG) loss can lead to long delays in donor site healing and is associated with significant adverse sequela…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence wherein a computer learns patterns and associations between variables to correctly predict outcomes. The objectives of this study were to 1) use a ML platfor…

Minimally invasive gender-affirming procedures (MIGAPs), which aim to align gender identity and expression for transgender and gender-nonbinary patients in a way that is safe, effective, and semipermanent or reversible, are gaining in popul…

[UNLABELLED] What is the most efficient dissection plane to perform midface lift? What is the best incision/approach (preauricular, transtemporal, transoral)? Why? What specific technique do you use? Why? What is the best method/substance f…

Extensive facial soft tissue volume deficits can pose a significant challenge to the facial reconstructive surgeon. These defects are typically the result of trauma, tumor extirpation, or congenital defects and produce troubling cosmetic an…
