Background: This study describes the utilization of the radial forearm free flap (RFFF) for the restoration of severe soft tissue deficiency involving the upper and lower eyelids in three patients.
Methods: This study is a retrospective review of the senior authors' clinical records for patients who presented with periorbital defect and underwent reconstruction with RFFF between 2018 and 2022.
Results: As a part of a comprehensive reconstructive surgery, we used the RFFF to deliver an ample amount of well-vascularized soft tissue.
Background: Surgical resection of head and neck (H&N) neoplasms requiring osseous reconstruction have underdefined complication profiles.
