## Abstract Microsurgical free flaps are today considered state of the art in head and neck reconstruction after composite tumor resections. Free flaps provide superior functional and aesthetic restoration with less donorβsite morbidity. This article details our approach to this challenging and com
## 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. Our aim in this retrospective case series was to review the indications, results, and complications of abdominal muscleβsparing free flaps in head and neck cancer reconstruction. ## Methods. A retrospective review of all head and neck cancer defects reconstructed with
## Abstract Twentyβsix patients with head and neck tumors were submitted to 27 microvascular reconstructive procedures. In 15, the mandible was reconstructed using the rib (4), iliac crest (7), and scapula (4). Nine patients underwent craniofacial reconstructions with the latissimus dorsi (5), rect
## Abstract This chapter describes the state of the art in head and neck free flap reconstruction and will stress some of its major deficits. It will also discuss some of the most promising frontiers in reconstruction, including tissue engineering and composite allotransplantation. The true frontie
