Adipofascial Infragluteal Perforator Flap for Total Parotidectomy Reconstruction: A Novel Application for Inconspicuous Donor and Recipient Site—Preliminary Results
In this preliminary case series, the AIGP free flap proved to be a feasible option for reconstruction after total parotidectomy with skin and facial nerve preservation, offering satisfactory contour restoration and low donor-site morbidity. Larger studies with longer follow-up are required to define indications and long-term outcomes.
