Smoking and microvascular free flap perfusion in head and neck reconstruction: radial free forearm flaps and anterolateral thigh flaps

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mark Ooms from the DepartmentUniversity Hospital have published the paper: Smoking and microvascular free flap perfusion in head and neck reconstruction: radial free forearm flaps and anterolateral thigh flaps, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: Smoking has only a minor and smoking-amount-dependent impact on microvascular free flap perfusion in RFFF and ALTF.
• how: This study is the first to show that perfusion of microvascular free flaps is partially increased in smokers as the flap blood flow was increased in ALTFs intraoperatively and in RFFFs postoperatively in heavy smokers . . .
