Posterior tibial artery flap versus radial forearm flap in oral cavity reconstruction and donor site morbidity

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Posterior tibial artery flap versus radial forearm flap in oral cavity reconstruction and donor site morbidity via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com The repair of soft tissue defects after oral cavity cancer resection is challenging. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes and donor site morbidity of the radial forearm free flap (RFF) and posterior tibial artery perforator flap (PTAF) for oral cavity reconstruction after cancer ablation. All patients who underwent oral cavity reconstruction with a RFF or PTAF between January 2017 and December 2019 were included retrospectively in this study. All flaps were harvested with a long adipofascial extension. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) View on Web
