The purpose of this study is to determine whether collagen nerve conduits placed on exposed
radial and ulnar nerves during radial and ulnar forearm free flap harvests will reduce the
occurrence and degree of sensory nerve deficit.
radial and ulnar nerves during radial and ulnar forearm free flap harvests will reduce the
occurrence and degree of sensory nerve deficit.
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients present with a complex defect after tumor resection
- all these cases done with the departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and
Otolaryngology at the University of Texas in multiple locations that include, Memorial
Hermann Hospital, Ben Taub General Hospital, Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital and
The Methodist hospital.
- patients that have been diagnosed with head and neck tumors and who will undergo a
composite resection and reconstruction with radial or ulnar free vascularized flap.
Exclusion Criteria:
- pre-existing nerve deficits
- pregnant women
