The radial forearm free flap as a "vascular bridge" for secondary microsurgical head and neck reconstruction in a vessel-depleted neck.

abstract：BACKGROUND:When pharyngoesophagectomy is performed in conjunction with anterior mediastinal tracheostomy, reconstructing both the trachea and alimentary tract is extremely difficult. We developed a novel 1-stage reconstructive procedure using a single free jejunal flap containing multiple vascular pedicles to decrease ...
