A preliminary analysis of patient reported outcomes following posterolateral mandible reconstruction: The role of flap type

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Reconstruction of posterolateral mandibular defects has a similar complication profile when utilizing a bony or soft tissue free flap. Bony flaps may perform better with respect to PROMs. Reconstructive surgeons should consider using bony flap reconstruction to achieve higher patient satisfaction and quality of life.
