Résumé
To evaluate the postoperative and 1-year functional outcomes after free flap surgery among patients ≥80 years old. Retrospective chart review. Single tertiary care center. We conducted a retrospective review of 596 patients who underwent head and neck ablation and reconstruction with free tissue over a 7-year period. Patients ≥80 years of age were included. Fifty patients were ≥80 years old, with an average age of 83.7 years. Ninety-day mortality was 12.0%, and those who died were of older age (87.5 vs 83.1 years, The potential for functional decline and risk of 90-day mortality should be discussed with patients aged ≥80 years.
