In light of the significant risk of postoperative morbidity, the quality of life following radical surgery has been of great concern to both patients and surgeons. To improve these outcomes, advances in reconstructive procedures have evolved to provide coverage of defects, enhance cosmetic results, and preserve quality of life.3
