Challenges in Radial Forearm Free Flap Surgery: A Comprehensive Case Analysis of Septic Complications at the Donor Site.

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) has emerged as a leading option for microvascular reconstruction of head and neck soft-tissue defects. Despite the favorable outcomes conferred by RFFFs, complications such as skin graft loss and tendon exposure can occur. We present the case of a 77-year-old man who underwent RFFF reconstruction after excision of squamous cell carcinoma from the head and neck.

Direct Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients with Allergic Rhinitis Undergoing Sublingual Versus Subcutaneous Immunotherapy.

: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) are commonly used for allergic rhinitis (AR), yet limited research has directly compared their effects on quality of life (QoL). We aimed to assess QoL differences between SLIT and SCIT recipients. As both forms of immunotherapy have reported benefits, we hypothesize that patients undergoing SLIT and SCIT will have comparable QoL improvements.
