Postoperative Outcome of Prelaminated Radial Forearm Free Flap for Soft Palate Reconstruction
The prelaminated radial forearm free flap allows a better physiological reconstruction of the soft palate while showing similar perioperative complication rates compared to the standard radial forearm free flap. In this case series no flap loss occurred, and functional outcomes were satisfactory.
