P121. The Use of Flow-Through Free Flaps for Head and Neck Reconstruction

Abstract

Supplement, 100th Annual Meeting Display EPosters amputated in a period ranging from 265 to 4680 days due to chronic rejection or poor function. Two deaths occurredone on POD 1. At present a least 70 uterus transplants have performed, and 20 healthy infants delivered. Teams from Europe, North America, South America, and Asia have reported live births. Transplants are from living or deceased donors. Two cases of pediatric VCA have been reported. A total laryngeal transplant in child and bilateral transplant in a child and regained excellent function. Challenges remain regarding ideal immunosuppression, chronic rejection, standardization of outcomes and funding. All VCAs are not lifesaving procedures and the balance risks/benefits must be carefully evaluated. VCA represents the highest rung on the microsurgical reconstructive ladder. Restorative surgery continues to evolve.
