Influence of neck dissection and preoperative irradiation on microvascular head and neck reconstruction-Analysis of 853 cases.

abstract：PURPOSE:In this study, the surgical outcomes of 32 patients with ulnar nerve injuries in the Guyon canal are presented. Outcomes were analyzed in relation to various factors such as age, surgical timing, zone of injury, and type of nerve reconstruction. METHODS:Between 1990 and 2007, 32 patients with injury in Guyon c...
