## Abstract The reversed radial forearm free flap is described and patient histories are presented to illustrate its unique reconstructive versatility. The valvular orientation of the deep and superficial forearm veins should theoretically oppose the reversed flow in this flap, but the venous flow

Background: Surgical management of selected posterior pharyngeal wall lesions can be performed with pharyngectomy, allowing for larynx preservation, with radial forearm free flap (RFFF) reconstruction. Methods: Retrospective review of our experience using RFFF reconstruction in 9 patients. Results
## Background: Speech and swallowing problems due to velopharyngeal incompetence may follow soft palate resection and reconstruction. over the past 3 years, we have developed the use of a superiorly based pharyngeal flap in conjunction with a radial forearm flap for soft palate reconstruction. ##
