Tongue Cancer
Radial forearm free-flap repair for head and neck cancers. The study was conducted on 154 patients between January 2010 and June 2014 operated for head and neck cancers where the defect was reconstructed with radial forearm free flap [Figure - 1]. Fourteen of these patients had received preoperative radiation therapy. Single or double vein anastomoses were performed alternatively in the patients in a randomized manner. According to the number of veins draining the flap, the 154 patients were divided into two groups––group1 having 75 patients and group2 having 79 patients. The flap sizes in both the groups of patients were comparable (5×6–5.5×7 cm for single paddle, 4×5–5×6 cm and 4×6–5×6.5 cm for double paddle). The patients were evaluated on the basis of the recipient vessels, reexploration rate, vascular compromise, and flap survival rate.  ·  ·  ·  · |
