Reconstruction of oral cavity defects using myogenous‐only scapular tip free‐flaps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology"
DOI: 10.1002/lio2.848
Abstract: Oral cavity reconstruction is very challenging anatomical subsite to reconstruct. Large defects often require free tissue reconstruction to provide the best chance of form and function. Additionally, free tissue reconstruction aids to prevent fistula formation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30791
Abstract: Compound flaps offer the advantage of one stage defect reconstruction respecting all relevant tissues and early functional recovery by optimal vascularity of all components. Due to its specific vascular anatomy and the three‐dimensional donor site,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30942
Abstract: The osteocutaneous fibula is a workhorse flap for oromandibular reconstruction. Skin paddles not only perform soft tissue reconstruction but also serve as a monitor for the fibula. In cases where the skin paddle cannot be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sctm.20-0226
Abstract: Anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flaps are widely used for reconstruction, but poor sensory recovery of the flap tissue can cause unsatisfactory outcomes and poor function. Adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) promote neural regeneration, but the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00238-020-01642-y
Abstract: Background Careful post-operative monitoring of free flaps is important in flap survival; immediate action increases flap salvage rate. Although various methods are available, room for improvement remains. Thermal cameras have proven their value in medicine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13193-019-01006-4
Abstract: Meticulous anastamotic technique and 'lie' of the vessels postanastomosis sets the stage for success in microvascular surgery. Positional issues of anastamosed vessels are a common cause for flap failure. Unlike end to end anastomosis, end… read more here.
