Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Risk factors for free flap failure and for developing other complications, such as deep vein thrombosis and infection, measured using an analysis of patient data stored in “REDCap” of patients' demographic data and post-operative monitoring data at one timepoint | — |
