Perioperative Risk Prediction in Head and Neck Free Flap Reconstructive Surgery
ABSTRACT Background Extensive head and neck reconstructive surgery is a complex procedure often performed in patients with multiple comorbidities, and the risk of complications is high. Evidence‐based preoperative assessment and reliable risk prediction are therefore essential, and the anesthesiologist plays an important role in this process.
