## Abstract __Background:__ The anterolateral thigh flap is thought to have minor donor site morbidity, but muscle dissection is unavoidable when skin perforator vessels run through the vastus lateralis muscle. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional problems associated with the

Autologous skin grafting to the donor site in patients who undergo radial forearm free flap reconstruction (RFFF) is associated with cosmetic and functional morbidity. Integra artificial dermis (Integra Lifesciences, Plainsboro, NJ) is a bovine collagen based dermal substitute that can be used as an
## Abstract ## Background. This study reports our experience with fasciocutaneous reconstruction of circumferential pharyngoesophageal defects using an anterolateral thigh flap wrapped around a salivary bypass tube. ## Methods. The charts of 14 patients were reviewed. All patients who had recons
## Abstract ## Background: The objective of this study was to compare the free muscleβmusculocutaneous flaps and free perforator skin flaps used for soft tissue reconstruction of the lower extremities. ## Methods: Fiftyβthree patients whose skin and soft tissue of the lower extremities had been
## Abstract ## Background. Many methods of managing the fasciocutaneous radial forearm free flap (RFFF) donor site have been described. Ideal management would be technically easy to perform, reliable, costβeffective, and prevent further complications. ## Methods. The clinical records of 54 conse
