Popis: The problems with the system for reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancers in our department where plastic surgeons are regularly invited from distant facilities were discussed. Especially, the importance of preoperative discussion between the plastic surgeons and ENT doctors was stressed. The computer system with Internet will play an important role in exchanging information such as CT scans and MRI scans between the plastic surgeons and ENT doctors. Moreover, the establishment of a system to prevent postoperative troubles such as closure of anastomosed vessels was stressed. Twenty-seven re-vascularized free flaps had been transferred with a 96.3% success rate (26 of 27 cases). We concluded that the system for reconstructive surgery under the multiple facility cooperation system worked well.
