Abstract
This case report presents a challenging clinical scenario of head-neck reconstruction, which involved two separate craniectomy defects secondary to osteoradionecrosis, one of which had a metal prosthesis reconstruction. The initial microvascular flap was compromised by distal necrosis and a novel method of reconstruction was used to salvage the partially necrotic flap in this situation.
