Shorter intervals between definitive radiation and salvage laryngopharyngeal surgery with free tissue reconstruction increases postoperative complications, hospital length of stay, and the likelihood of feeding tube dependence. Reconstructive surgeons can use these findings to help guide preoperative patient counseling and assess postoperative risk.
