Its thinness, pliability, pedicle length, and vessel size are particularly suited for oropharyngeal and oral cavity reconstruction. Concerns about aesthetic and functional morbidity at the donor site have given rise to various techniques of closing the donor site, two of which are the split-thickness skin graft (STSG), taken from the thigh, and the hatchet flap, which uses a local flap within the radial forearm. This RCT will determine whether retrospectively reported improvements to aesthetic and functional outcomes for STSG patients are greater compared to hatchet flap patients.",[80,81,82],"Oral Cancer","Oral Cavity Cancer","Donor Site Complication",[80,81,84,85,86],"Radial Forearm","Donor Site","Surgical Complications","2025-06-09",{"date":89,"type":90},"2025-06-12","ACTUAL",{"date":92,"type":90},"2023-02-01",{"date":94,"type":74},"2025-12",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
