Comparison of Posteromedial Thigh Profunda Artery Perforator Flap and Anterolateral Thigh Perforator Flap for Head and Neck Reconstruction.

BACKGROUND The anterolateral thigh perforator flap is a common workhorse flap for head and neck reconstruction. The authors present an alternative method using the posteromedial thigh profunda artery perforator flap and compare its characteristics, outcomes, donor-site morbidity, and donor-site cosmesis with those of the anterolateral thigh perforator flap. METHODS Between May of 2013 and Jul...

Choice of Flap Affects Fistula Rate after Salvage Laryngopharyngectomy

Due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated with pharyngocutaneous fistula in pharyngoesophageal reconstruction following cancer resection, the purpose of this retrospective study is to examine the selection of tubed skin flaps that impact anastomotic integrity. The flaps evaluated included radial forearm flap versus anterolateral thigh flap, and fasciocutaneous anterolateral thig...

Anterolateral thigh cutaneous flap vs. radial forearm free-flap in oral and oropharyngeal reconstruction: an analysis of 48 flaps.

Microvascular free-flaps have been in clinical use for nearly 3 decades becoming the gold standard in oral and oropharyngeal reconstruction. In this study, a comparison has been made between the radial forearm fasciocutaneous flap with the thinned anterolateral thigh cutaneous flap (tALT), showing the advantage of the anterolateral thigh cutaneous flap in oral and oropharyngeal reconstruction. ...
