The Comprehensive Complication Index in Postoperative Assessment After Head and Neck Reconstruction.
J Surg Oncol
September 2025
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa, Japan.
Background: Postoperative complications significantly impact outcomes in head and neck free-flap reconstruction. The comprehensive complication index (CCI) offers a continuous measure of complication burden but is rarely applied in head and neck surgery compared to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 354 patients who underwent head and neck free-flap reconstruction.

Department of Anesthesiology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, Beijing, P. R. China; National Center of Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Beijing, P. R. China. Electronic address:
Background: Maintaining appropriate blood pressure during head and neck free tissue transfer surgery is important for both organ and flap perfusion. However, the use of vasopressors to treat intraoperative hypotension is controversial. The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the impact of intraoperative vasopressors on the incidence of flap necrosis.
