Abstract:
Objective To review clinical experience of free flap transferring in the reconstruction of head and neck defects. Methods Fifteen free anterolateral thigh flaps, 5 free deep inferior epigastric flaps and 3 free lateral arm flaps were used to reconstruct large area head and neck defects. Results All 23 free flaps were alive with good appearance. 1 case survived by performing embolectomy after suffering arterial crisis and delayed recovery of wound took place in 2 cases. Conclusion Free flap transplantation is an ideal choice for reconstructing large area cranio-facio-cervical defects.
