Abstract:
A case of free fibula transfer for mandibular reconstruction in a cardiac transplant patient is described. The reconstructive microsurgeon should be aware of the special requirements of these immunosuppressed patients and flap transfer should be performed in specialized centers with the interaction of different specialties to make the procedure safe and successful.
