Free Tensor Fascia Lata Perforator Flap: An Alternative Lateral Thigh‐Based Option for Head and Neck Oncologic Defect Reconstruction

Key Points

• To evaluate the TFLp perforator flap as a viable option for head and neck oncologic defect reconstruction when the ALT flap is not suitable.
• Comparative analysis of TFLp flap and ALT flap usage
• Assessment of surgical outcomes in head and neck reconstruction
• Evaluation of flap viability and integration in clinical cases
• The TFLp flap is effective for complex reconstructions in head and neck cases
• It provides sufficient tissue for defect coverage
• Flap survival rates are comparable to the ALT flap in select cases
