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 rates between 22% and 67%. There are limited data‐driven predictors of successful salvage present in the literature. This systematic review aims to identify predictors of flap salvage.
