The Impact of Lovenox Prophylaxis and Other Anticoagulants on Microvascular Free Flap Outcomes.
[OBJECTIVE] Microvascular free flap reconstruction for head and neck defects carries a 95% success rate. When flap compromise occurs, it is often due to vascular occlusion. This study seeks to determine what impact lovenox prophylaxis has o…

Impact of the "July effect" in head and neck microvascular reconstruction: A retrospective review.
[OBJECTIVE] The "July effect," a theory that the beginning of the academic year has worse operative outcomes and complication rates, remains controversial. We evaluated the "July effect" as a risk factor for negative operative outcomes in h…

Association of Head and Neck Anatomic Zones with Microvascular Reconstruction Outcomes.
Head and neck free flap survival relies on adequate tissue perfusion from the external carotid artery (ECA), and vessel length is inversely proportional to blood flow rate. Investigate whether distance from the ECA (as a proxy for pedicle …
