Objective: Prior studies have been contradictory on the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) recurrence. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to further evaluate this potential association.
Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus electronic databases.
Objective: To systematically review the literature to determine the prevalence of free flap failure in head and neck free flaps requiring vein grafting.
Data Sources: Search strategies created in collaboration with a medical librarian were implemented using PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception to August 2022.
Review Methods: The population of interest included adult and pediatric patients undergoing reconstruction of oncologic or traumatic head and neck defects with a free flap requiring a vein graft that presents the success/failure rate.
