## 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 __Background:__ Microvascular anastomotic coupling devices have been available to microsurgeons for over 20 years. Many studies have validated the efficacy of these devices for venous anastomosis. To date, there have been no large reports of their success in the anatomical region with t
Eleven lateral thigh free flaps were used in head and neck reconstruction, transferred on the basis of the second perforator as well as the third perforator of the profunda femoris artery. The lateral thigh free flap was useful and reliable in head and neck reconstruction and was versatile in flap d
