Voice outcomes following reconstruction of laryngopharyngectomy defects using the radial forearm free flap and the anterolateral thigh free flap.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Patients undergoing laryngopharyngectomy with extensive pharyngeal mucosal resection or those failing chemoradiation protocols are commonly reconstructed using free tissue transfer. Radial forearm free flaps (RFFFs) and anterolateral thigh free flaps (ALTs) are two of the most commonly used free flaps for laryngopharyngectomy reconstruction. It has been suggested that alar...
متن کاملFunctional assessment: Free thin anterolateral thigh flap versus free radial forearm reconstruction for hemiglossectomy defects
BACKGROUND To compare free thin anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with free radial forearm (FRF) flap in the reconstruction of hemiglossectomy defects, and to introduce our methods and experience in the tongue reconstruction with free thin ALT flap. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinicopathologic data of 46 tongue carcinoma cases hospitalized from December 2009 to April 2014 were obtained from Nangji...
متن کاملMicrovascular free flap transfer for reconstruction of oromandibular defects
econstruction of the mandible presents unique challenges to the head and neck surgeon. Although mandibular defects can result from trauma, infection, congenital deformities, or osteonecrosis, it most commonly occurs following ablative surgery for the treatment of benign or malignant neoplasms. Primary intrabony mandibular carcinoma is rare; therefore, the involvement of the lower jaw is usually...
متن کاملReconstruction of lateral forefoot using reversed medial plantar flap with free anterolateral thigh flap.
Skin defects of the heel have frequently been reconstructed using the medial plantar flap; however, forefoot coverage has remained a challenge, because the alternatives for flap coverage have been very limited. We describe a case of malignant melanoma on the lateral forefoot that was radically removed and reconstructed successfully with a distally based medial plantar flap, together with a free...
متن کاملReinnervated anterolateral thigh flap for tongue reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Total or near-total glossectomy defects are commonly reconstructed with rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps for coverage. Sensory reinnervation has rarely been performed. METHODS Thirteen consecutive total or near-total glossectomy reconstructions were performed in a 12-month period with anterolateral thigh flaps with (n = 8) or without (n = 5) sensory reinnervation to the lingual ...
