Background: Free flap transfer is an essential technique for head and neck reconstruction after oncological ablative resection. Selection of recipient vessels can be challenging in patients with a history of neck dissection and/or radiotherapy. We analyzed outcomes with regard to recipient vessel selection and flap failure, referring to patients' histories of radiotherapy and/or neck dissection.

We report the forensic and clinicopathological spectrum of 14 postmortem cases involving the vertebral artery. In all cases, there was either pontocerebellar infarction (n = 8) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 6). The underlying pathology of the vertebral artery was segmental mediolytic arteriopathy (n = 5), traumatic rupture of the arterial wall (n = 3), arterial dissection (n = 2), or atherosclerosis (n = 4).

Although formaldehyde-based embalming is widely used, it presents health risks and compromises tissue quality. Alternatives like Thiel and saturated salt solutions offer improvements but may not perform optimally in tropical climates.
