Abstract
This article examines current practice in the various areas of head and neck reconstruction, including mandible, skull base, floor of mouth, tongue, maxilla, pharyngoesophagus, and larynx. Flaps such as the fibula, which have become the “gold standard” in mandibular reconstruction, are compared with the radial forearm flap, which previously held a similar position in floor-of-mouth reconstruction. The influences of newer flaps such as the anterolateral thigh flap are discussed. Also, the emerging role of perforator flaps in head and neck reconstruction is described. As well, the resurging interest in the iliac crest in reconstruction of the maxilla is highlighted. The concept of tissue-engineered and prefabricated flaps is put into perspective with regard to the oncology patient, and the future role of tissue transplantation is explored.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
