Free tissue reconstruction in the "vessel-depleted" neck: A multi-institutional cohort study.

Objectives: Much of the literature on free tissue reconstruction in the "vessel-depleted" neck is focused on identification of vessels outside the pretreated field and data on free flap outcomes when infield microvascular anastomosis is performed remain scarce. We aim to report on free flap outcomes and recipient vessel choice in a large cohort of patients with prior radiation and neck dissection (RTND) to the ipsilateral side of vessel anastomosis.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed including patients who received head and neck free tissue transfer following prior RTND to the ipsilateral side of vessel anastomosis.
