Abstract
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.
