Patients reconstructed with soft tissue flaps had greater rates of composite soft tissue defects (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), condyle resection (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), and peripheral vascular disease (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.035).
