Prognostic Factors for Free Flap Failure in Head and Neck Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Background The failure rate of free flaps varies from 0.8% to 10.6% in the literature in head and neck reconstruction. The primary objective was to identify prognostic factors for free flap failure. Methods We prospectively included all consecutive free flaps performed between August 2021 and January 2024, and used a multivariate Cox ...
