Complications of radiation-induced ulcers are one of the most challenging situations a reconstructive surgeon can encounter. In that case, finding an optimal solution to cover the defect is not easy. In this paper, we presented our experience in dealing with such drastic ulcers, dividing them into 4 groups.+ Group A: Exposed carotid artery.+ Group B: Exposed axillary artery.+ Group C: Exposed pleura and pericardium. + Group D: Exposed tracheal stenosis.All patients underwent appropriate reconstructive surgery methods and recovered well with acceptable functional and cosmetic outcomes.
