Abstract
Patients aged 90Â years or older are more likely to be discharged to a skilled nursing facility than their younger counterparts, but otherwise have similar outcomes in terms of complications and return to baseline function. The results of this study suggest that age 90Â years or older should not be a direct contraindication for free flap reconstruction in the head and neck.
