Comparison between the radial forearm and superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator free flaps for oral soft tissue reconstruction

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used for oral reconstruction. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is an increasingly utilized alternative. The cases of 165 patients who received either an RFFF or SCIP flap for oral reconstruction at Chris O′Brien Lifehouse, S...

The cases of 165 patients who received either an RFFF or SCIP flap for oral reconstruction at Chris O′Brien Lifehouse, Sydney were reviewed.

SCIP flap patients were younger (P
