In this video, Mount Sinai head and neck cancer surgeons (Drs. Genden, Berger, Chai, Khan, Kirke, Roof, Teng, Urken) perform a radial forearm free flap to reconstruct a soft tissue defect of the head and neck after removing a large, cancerous tumor. Free flaps are pieces of tissue from a patient’s own body taken with a specific artery and vein that are then connected, or anastomosed to vessels in the patients head and neck. The radial forearm free flap is rather versatile and can be used to reconstruct a variety of areas. Mount Sinai is one of the largest head and neck cancer centers in the United States and routinely performs hundreds of free flaps. For smaller tumors of the throat, Mount Sinai is able to offer patients transoral robotic surgery, a minimally invasive approach.
