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 ...
متن کاملThe Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Pedicled Flap Revisited
The pectoralis major myocutaneous pedicle flap (PMMF) is still being used by many surgeons and plays an important role in head and neck reconstruction. The purpose of this series was to review our 10 years’ experience with the PMMF in head and neck reconstruction. One hundred and two patients who underwent the PMMF technique were reviewed on the clinical records. Postoperative complications wer...
متن کاملUse of an innervated tongue flap to rehabilitate the tongue after hypoglossal-to-facial nerve transfer.
Facial palsy resulting from loss of the intracranial portion of the facial nerve has been reconstructed traditionally by transferring motor axons from the hypoglossal nerve to the facial nerve.1–4 This approach can reinnervate the facial muscles if it is done before these muscles have undergone irreversible atrophy, eliminating the need for a free-muscle transfer. The two major disadvantages of...
متن کاملTongue reconstruction with the gracilis myocutaneous free flap.
We describe our experience in tongue reconstruction using the transverse gracilis myocutaneous (TMG) free flap after major demolitive surgery for advanced cancer. This technique was used in 10 patients: seven underwent total glossectomy and three partial glossectomy. In eight patients we performed motor reinnervation attempting to maintain muscular trophism and gain long-term volumetric stabili...
