Abstract: Modification of the Radial Forearm Fasciocutaneous Flap in Partial Pharyngolaryngeal Reconstruction to Minimize Fistula Formation
Reconstruction of pharyngolaryngoesophageal defects following salvage surgery in patients with a history of chemoradiation is a challenging problem with a high incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula. The authors describe three cases of successful reconstruction of partial pharyngolaryngoesophageal defects using a modified radial forearm free flap with additional dermal reinforcement and review ...

متن کاملRadial Forearm Flap versus Radial Adipofascial Perforator Based Flap for Reconstruction of Hand Soft Tissue Defects
Background: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the hand possesses a challenge to the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. In recent years, the radial forearm fasciocutaneous flap has been used extensively to cover hand soft tissue defects. With the routine use of this flap some drawbacks have become apparent. The need to sacrifice the radial artery during the harvest of the flap and the d...
متن کاملFunctional assessment: Free thin anterolateral thigh flap versus free radial forearm reconstruction for hemiglossectomy defects
