Free anterolateral thigh flap and masseter nerve transfer for reconstruction of extensive periauricular defects: Surgical technique and clinical outcomes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Microsurgery"
DOI: 10.1002/micr.30086
Abstract: Radical tumor ablation in the periauricular area often results in extensive soft tissue defects, including facial nerve sacrifice, bone and/or dura defects. Reconstruction of these defects should aim at restoring facial reanimation, wound closure, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30863
Abstract: The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a popular choice for head and neck reconstruction surgery, but its ungainly thickness makes it of limited value in some intracavitary reconstructions. The ALT adipofascial flap is an improved… read more here.
