Prognostic Factors for Free Flap Failure in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Head &Neck, EarlyView.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 ...

Surgical and demographic predictors of free flap salvage after takeback: A systematic review
Microsurgery, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 78-88, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Microsurgical free tissue transfer (FTT) is a widely employed surgical modality utilized for reconstruction of a broad range of defects, including head and neck, extremity, and breast. Flap survival is reported to be 90%–95%. When FTT fails, salvage procedures aim at establishing reperfusion while limiting ischemia time—with salvage
