The effect of adjuvant radiotherapy on radial forearm free flap volume after soft palate reconstruction in 13 patients

Abstract

Treatment options for squamous cell carcinoma of the soft palate include surgical resection followed by radiotherapy or primary radiotherapy. In most cases sufficient resection margins require reconstruction of the defect with free flaps. The most common flaps used in oropharyngeal carcinoma are the radial forearm free flap and the anterolateral thigh and latissimus dorsi free flap. According to the magnitude of the resection defect, surgeons estimate the size and volume of soft tissue transfer needed for an optimal esthetic and in particular functional outcome.
