title: Microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck after tumor ablation.
abstract: Microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck in cancer patients after surgical ablation has significantly improved the quality of life of these patients from both a functional and cosmetic standpoint. Successful management and reconstruction of these patients requires a well-coordinated team approach. Operating room times and hospital stays have significantly decreased with coordination and experience of the team members.
