title: Vascularised fibula osteocutaneous flap for cervical spinal and posterior pharyngeal wall reconstruction.
abstract: We report a case of vascularised fibula osteocutaneous flap used for composite cervical spinal and posterior pharyngeal wall reconstruction, in a patient with recurrent skull base chordoma, resected by an anterior approach via median labio-mandibular glossotomy approach. Bone stability and pharyngeal wall integrity were simultaneously restored.
