Use of supermicrosurgery in craniofacial and head and neck soft tissue reconstruction: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis

Supermicrosurgery is an evolving approach in the reconstruction of head and neck (HN) and craniofacial (CF) defects. This systematic review aims to evaluate the use of supermicrosurgery for arterial or combined arterial and venous anastomoses in the reconstruction of HN and CF soft tissue defects, and the associated success, total complication, and reoperation rates. A literature search was conducted on PubMed, Dynamed, DARE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and British Medical Journal (BMJ) electronic databases (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023476825).
