Based on these premises, Plastic and ENT surgery units agreed to operate the patient on April 1. In the post-operative period the patient spent the first night in a dedicated intensive care area, she was monitored with Licox PtO 2 system (Arnez, Ramella, Papa, Novati, et al., 2019) . Microsurgical free flap reconstructions are demanding surgeries that require long OR times and often intensive post-operative care in ICU units. In this period of constrained resources, and necessity of wearing additional protective equipment, microsurgical reconstruction must be performed but only after careful case-by-case assessment because, even during Covid-19 pandemia it is imperative for then health systems to guarantee the patients the best treatment.	./cache/cord-337094-aa3ourc6.txt	./txt/cord-337094-aa3ourc6.txt
