Preimaging and Postimaging of Graft and Flap in Head and Neck Reconstruction

Head and neck reconstructive surgical techniques are complex; now the microvascular free tissue transfer is the most frequently used. The postreconstruction imaging interpretation is challenging due to the altered anatomy and flap variability. We aim to improve radiologists ’ knowledge with diverse methods of flap reconstruction for an accurate appreciation of their expected cross-sectional imaging appearance and early detection of tumor recurrence and other complication.
