The New Transverse–Facial Artery Musculomucosal Flap for Intraoral Reconstructions
1 BACKGROUND Head/neck cancer resections often require reconstruction to restore form and function. Small-to-medium size intraoral defects can be successfully reconstructed by local pedicled flaps, such as the facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap,1 which encompasses different layers: cheek mucosa and submucosa, the underlying layer of the buccinator muscle, a portion of the orbicularis oris...
متن کاملBuccinator musculomucosal flap: applications in intraoral reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of the buccinator musculomucosal flap in the reconstruction of defects of the oral cavity and oropharynx. DESIGN Prospective case series of 8 patients during a 1-year period with an average follow-up of 1 year. Six anatomical dissections were performed on 3 fresh cadaver heads to investigate the neurovascular supply to the flap. SETTING Academic tertiary referr...
متن کاملLip and vermilion reconstruction with the facial artery musculomucosal flap.
The lips are a complex laminated structure. When lost through injury or disease, they present a complex reconstructive challenge. The facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap is a composite flap with features similar to those of lip tissue. In this article, the anatomy, dissection, and clinical applications for the use of the FAMM flap in lip and vermilion reconstruction are discussed. A series...
متن کاملA new option with the pedicle thoracoacromial artery perforator flap for hypopharyngeal reconstructions.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The reconstruction of hypopharyngeal defects should focus on minimizing morbidity in a high-risk population while achieving adequate functional results with regard to the restoration of speech, swallowing, and airway control. We introduce the clinical application of the thoracoacromial artery perforator (TAAP) flap as a new reconstructive option for hypopharyngeal defects....
متن کاملModified Facial Artery Musculomucosal Flap for Reconstruction of Posterior Skull Base Defects
Objectives The superiorly pedicled facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap has been successfully used for reconstruction of head and neck defects since 1992. Common sites of defects include the oral cavity and oropharynx. This article presents a clinical case in which we have successfully used a newly developed modification of the FAMM flap for bulky nasopharyngeal and skull base reconstructio...
