Updates in Assisted Advanced Technology for Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer in Head and Neck Surgery.

Microvascular free tissue transfer in head and neck surgery has evolved through technological advancements, focusing on enhancing surgical outcomes and reducing complications. The strategic process involves preoperative planning for perforator mapping, intraoperative devices for microvascular anastomoses and patient positioning, and innovative postoperative monitoring techniques ensuring flap viability. This workflow has led to a high flap success rate, although revision surgery can still be necessary. This article aims to explore recent advances in microvascular free tissue transfer technology utilized across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative domains for enhanced surgical efficacy.
