## Abstract ## Background Free flap reconstruction of head and neck cancer defects is complex with many factors that influence perioperative complications. The aim was to determine if there was an association between perioperative variables and postoperative outcome. ## Methods We evaluated 185

Single flap for complex hypopharyngoesophageal and anterior neck skin defect reconstruction is still a challenge for reconstructive surgeons. Herein, we present five patients, with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer and anterior neck skin invasion, which received a single anterolateral thigh (ALT) fasci
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: To evaluate head and neck patients undergoing secondary (delayed) free flap reconstructions. ## Study Design: Retrospective chart review. ## Methods: Of the 523 free flaps between October 2004 and May 2008, 70 patients underwent 71 secondary free flaps. Ou
## Abstract ## Background. We investigated positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scanning following segmental resections and osteocutaneous freeβflap reconstruction. The interpretability of PET/CT imaging with healing osteotomies and reconstruction hardware was analyzed. ## Methods. Patient scan
## Abstract ## Objectives: Expansion of the clinical indications for ablative endoscopic endonasal approaches has behooved us to search for new reconstruction alternatives. We present the anatomic foundations of a novel anterior pedicled lateral wall flap (HadadβBassagaisteguy 2 or HB2 flap) for t
## Abstract ## Background We aimed to determine predictors of morbidity in patients undergoing microvascular free flap reconstruction of the head and neck. ## Methods We prospectively evaluated 796 cases between 1999 and 2007 using univariate and multivariate analysis to determine predictors of
