Head and neck reconstruction flaps are a cornerstone of modern surgical practice, enabling the restoration of facial aesthetics, speech, swallowing, and breathing. Surgeons carefully select flaps based on factors such as defect size, location, tissue type, and patient-specific considerations. There are various types of flaps, including local flaps, regional flaps, and distant or free flaps, each with unique advantages and limitations. Local flaps involve nearby tissue transfer and are suitable for smaller defects. Regional flaps utilize tissue from adjacent areas and are versatile for mid-sized defects. Free flaps involve harvesting tissue, along with its vascular supply, from a distant donor site, making them ideal for large or complex reconstructions. Microvascular surgery plays a pivotal role in free flap transplantation, as it involves intricate vessel anastomosis to ensure adequate blood supply to the transferred tissue. Success in head and neck reconstruction depends on meticulous surgical planning, expertise, and postoperative care to minimize complications and optimize functional outcomes.
