Last year a flap was taken from my left wrist, with no problem.

I just underwent surgery to have SCC removed from upper back of mouth, this time flap was made from my right thigh.

A check up today shows this flap is no longer getting blood flow, dying? Of course, ENT wants me back in surgery right away, next Wednesday, to make another flap from my left thigh. Another major operation, worth it?

What if I elect not to have another graph/flap? What would be my consequences? ENT said I would have a hole in the back of my mouth, perhaps long time healing?

Has anyone any experience with flaps that didn't take? I still don't know my recurrence treatment yet and they want yet another surgery??

Any and all comments are welcome..........thank you....
