Microvascular Free Flap Reconstruction After Salvage Total Laryngectomy: Experience of the Verona University.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This article evaluates the reconstructive potential and functional outcomes, as well as the risks and potential perioperative complications of using free flaps in patients with advanced-stage malignant laryngeal neoplasms who require salvage surgery and reconstruction. Additionally, it assesses the effectiveness of various flap harvesting and in-setting techniques, including the performance of microvascular anastomoses. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 13 male patients (age range 47-76 years) diagnosed with laryngeal neoplasms, who were referred to the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Verona between 2017 and 2022. All patients underwent salvage total laryngectomy followed by concurrent reconstructive surgery utilizing microv
