Significantly more OC\u2010RFFF patients had lateral mandible defects (94% vs. 61%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0014).

Bivariable analysis showed no impact of flap type, tobacco\/alcohol use, diabetes, or hypothyroidism on postoperative complications. Sixty percent of OC\u2010RFFF, and 67% of FFF, patients resumed an oral diet after surgery.
