[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…

[UNLABELLED] Patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease have high rates of thrombogenic vessels. The implantable (Cook) Doppler in lower extremity reconstruction can optimize microsurgical outcomes in this population. …

Postoperative monitoring of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps for breast reconstruction using noninvasive tissue oximetry enables timely recognition of vascular compromise. This may limit ischemic tissue damage, minimizing po…

[BACKGROUND] Few studies have evaluated clinical outcomes of novice surgeons trained in a microsurgical training program. Herein, we describe successful free flap reconstructions performed by trainees who completed a structured microsurgica…

The treatment of lower extremity trauma with extensive soft tissue defects requires a multidisciplinary approach. Following precise bone fixation, appropriate soft tissue reconstruction is a major requisite. We present a case of a severe lo…

[BACKGROUND] Early detection of vascular compromise following free flap microsurgical reconstruction is essential. This can lead to timely reoperations and flap salvage. Both arteries and veins are monitored postoperatively with implantable…

Microvascular free flaps are considered the gold standard in head and neck reconstructive surgery. Myofascial flaps, in particular, are useful in certain oral and maxillofacial reconstruction cases, where mucosal regeneration over the trans…

Reconstruction of posttraumatic soft tissue defects has been revolutionized after the application of microvascular free flaps. However, standard flaps are limited in size and may not completely cover the defect. Flap expansion which is indi…

[BACKGROUND] Historically, conventional musculocutaneous flaps have been commonly used for reconstruction after soft tissue sarcoma resection, and the use of lower abdominal perforator flaps has not been popular. This report examined the cu…

[BACKGROUND] Free-flap reconstruction for recurrent head and neck cancer may be challenging depending on the previous treatments, those are, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, including neck dissection or free tissue transfer. Specifi…

[BACKGROUND] There is a subset of patients who initially undergo implant-based breast reconstruction but later change to autologous reconstruction after failure of the implant reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to examine outcome…
