The complexity of the midface structure and its importance to a multitude of functions present the reconstructive surgeon with unique challenges. The midface is an area that is crucial both functionally and esthetically. Midface reconstruct…

[BACKGROUND] Flow-through flaps (FTFs) are an advanced technique in which a free flap is anastomosed to the pedicle of another free flap to reconstruct extensive head and neck defects when recipient vessels are scarce. [METHODS] A multi-in…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess if there is increased risk of free flap failure in renal failure patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction. We seek to primarily assess free flap outcomes based on stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and seco…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction is uncommon with limited reported findings. [METHODS] Multicenter, retrospective case series of 49 consecutive adult patients presenti…

[BACKGROUND] This study compares the outcomes of osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OC-RFFF) and fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN). [METHODS] Retrospective review of patients undergoing OC-R…

[BACKGROUND] Head and neck osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the midface requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction is uncommon. This multi-institutional study was designed to review outcomes for this rare patient population. [METHODS] Retrospectiv…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap (FF) reconstruction of traumatic injuries to the head and neck is uncommon. [METHODS] Multi-institutional retrospective case series of patients undergoing FF reconstruction for a traumatic injury (n = 103). [RESULTS…

[OBJECTIVE] Determine which variables impact postoperative discharge destination following head and neck microvascular free flap reconstruction. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review of prospectively collected databases. [METHODS] Consecuti…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE(S)] Patients with intracranial tumors have a higher risk of thromboembolic events. This risk increases at the time of surgical intervention. We have noted an anecdotal increase in perioperative flap thrombosis in patients undergo…

[OBJECTIVES] Iatrogenic injury of the fibula free flap pedicle is rare. Postoperative flap survival and reconstructive outcomes following intraoperative pedicle severance are unknown. This study assesses free flap outcomes following acciden…

[OBJECTIVE] Patients with recurrent oropharyngeal cancer can achieve survival benefits from surgical salvage, and often require simultaneous free-flap reconstruction. Resection and reconstruction can impact function, leading to tube depende…

[BACKGROUND] Perioperative management of advanced osteoradionecrosis of the head and neck requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction varies. Our objectives included assessment of practice patterns and outcomes. [METHODS] Multi-institutional, …

[OBJECTIVE] Determine if age correlated with surgical or medical complications following head and neck free flap reconstruction. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review of prospectively collected databases. [METHODS] Patients undergoing head …

[BACKGROUND] Outcomes and cost of soft tissue versus bony midface free flap reconstruction (MR) with and without virtual surgical planning (VSP) were evaluated. [METHODS] Retrospective review of MR including ischemic time (IT), operative d…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To review the management of failed free tissue transfers among four large institutions over a 13-year period to provide data and analysis for a logical, algorithmic, experience-based approach to the management of fai…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Predictors of free tissue transfer (FTT) failure and the need for postoperative revision (POR) have been extensively studied; however, there are little data evaluating outcomes when intraoperative revision (IOR) at i…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] The literature on outcomes of end-to-side (ETS) anastomoses for microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck is limited. This series reviews ETS in free tissue transfer (FTT) across multiple institutions to bett…

[OBJECTIVE] Review long-term clinical and quality-of-life outcomes following free flap reconstruction for osteonecrosis. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective multi-institutional review. [SETTING] Tertiary care centers. [METHODS] Patients include…

[OBJECTIVES] Mid and upper face free flaps frequently are associated with challenges due to pedicle length. We sought to evaluate the frequency at which alternative pedicle maneuvers were required for these reconstructions and determine if …

[OBJECTIVE] To determine the frequency at which patients with osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction of the head and neck develop long-term complications and identify predisposing perioperative factors. [STUDY DESIGN] A prospectively main…

[OBJECTIVE] To describe the natural history of bone segment union in head and neck free flap procedures and detail the association of poor segment union with postoperative complications. [STUDY DESIGN] Case series with chart review. [SETT…

[BACKGROUND] Understanding factors impacting successful salvage of a compromised free flap. [METHODS] Multi-institutional review of free flap reconstructions for head and neck defects (n = 1764). [RESULTS] Free flap compromise rate: 9% (n…
