Free flap reconstruction for lower extremity (LE) trauma has a higher failure rate than free flaps in other anatomic regions. Postoperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy may influence LE free flap outcomes, but an optimal regimen…

[BACKGROUND] Maintaining appropriate blood pressure during head and neck free tissue transfer surgery is important for both organ and flap perfusion. However, the use of vasopressors to treat intraoperative hypotension is controversial. The…

[INTRODUCTION] As risk factors of free flap loss related to the patient are unmodifiable, proper perioperative protocol is crucial. Perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) may be associated with an increased risk of medical complications, pro…

High body mass index (BMI) patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap face the increased risk of wound healing complications, fat necrosis, and donor-site morbidity. While p…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of complex head and neck defects using a single flap is challenging in the absence of multiple reliable perforators for immediate splitting. Conventional folding or de-epithelization in the middle often results i…

The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is often used by microsurgeons, with few reports of skin flap complications outside of partial flap necrosis. This study describes three unusual cases of flap dangle intolerance secondary to the developmen…
