Surgical complications and functional outcomes of 3191 jejunal free flaps used for reconstruction of circumferential defects following head and neck cancer resections: A systematic review.

Pedicled, fasciocutaneous and visceral flaps are all widely adopted for reconstruction after ablative surgery for advanced laryngeal, hypopharyngeal and cervical oesophageal cancers. With multiple options available, the choice depends on type and extent of the defect, patient's general conditions and institution expertise or preference. Since its first description in 1959, the use of jejunal free flap (JFF) has been refined thanks to the introduction of microvascular anastomoses, progressively allowing to achieve low mortality and morbidity rates.
