Perforator based rectus free tissue transfer for head and neck reconstruction: New reconstructive advantages from an old friend

Many donor sites are used for autogenous transplantation to reconstruct soft tissue defects in the head and neck [1]. The ideal soft tissue donor site would have a long vascular pedicle, be accompanied by adipose tissue that is highly moldable so that the volume of adipose within the transplant can be customized, and would not contain muscle, so that the volume of the transplant is not affected by muscle atrophy.
