AB  - The  basic  goal  of  head  and  neck  reconstruction  is  to  replace  soft  tissue  and  bony  defects  with  similar  tissue,  restoring  function,  and  optimizing  cosmesis.  Reconstructive  surgical  options  are  typically  thought  of  in  a  hierarchy  called  the  reconstructive  ladder.  (Table  78–1)  Each  step  on  the  ladder  increases  the  invasiveness  and  complexity  of  the  reconstruction.  Selection  of  the  appropriate  procedure  depends  on  the  defect  and  the  goals  of  reconstruction.
