Prelaminated Fascia Lata Free Flap for Oronasal Fistula Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oronasal fistulae are frequently symptomatic due to rhinolalia and regurgitation of solid food and liquids through the palate.1 When asymptomatic, fistulae can be managed with conservative therapies. Local flaps are useful to close small fistulae but cannot be used in bigger ones and cases with bad-quality surrounding tissues. Ideally, a thin double-layer mucosal tissue is required, but there are no suitable donor sites for this tissue in the human body. We report a palate fistula reconstruction with prelaminated fascia lata free flap.

The repair of complex penile defect with composite anterolateral thigh and vascularized fascia lata flap.
One-stage reconstruction of complex penile defects with functional and cosmetic results is a challenging procedure. The selection of proper technique and materials for reconstruction depends on the type of the deficient tissue components, the size of the wound surface, and the donor site. This article presented a case of a partial penile and urethral defect due to an infection in the previous s...
متن کاملFree Tensor Fascia Lata Flap and Synthetic Mesh Reconstruction for Full-Thickness Chest Wall Defect
A large full-thickness chest wall defect over 10 cm in diameter requires skeletal reconstruction and soft tissue coverage. Use of various flaps for soft tissue coverage was previously reported, but en bloc resection in each case affects these flap pedicles and sizes. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a soft tissue tumor involving the left lateral chest wall. We performed an en block r...
متن کاملAbdominal wall reconstruction with the free tensor fascia lata musculofasciocutaneous flap using intraperitoneal gastroepiploic recipient vessels.
The authors report their experience with a method for definitive abdominal wall reconstruction using the free tensor fascia lata musculofasciocutaneous flap anastomosed to the intraperitoneal gastroepiploic vessels. This is a single-stage reconstruction capable of reconstructing reliably a full-thickness defect involving any region of the abdominal wall. The fascial component of the flap recons...
متن کاملVersatility of Pedicled Tensor Fascia Lata Flap in Two Different Challenging Anatomical Defects
Background: The tensor fascia lata is a versatile flap with many uses in reconstructive plastic surgery. As a pedicled flap, its reach to the lower abdomen and groinmade it an attractive option for reconstructing soft tissue defects after tumour ablation. We present two cases with challenging anatomical reconstruction after tumour ablation using pedicled TFL flap. A pedicled tensor fascia lata ...
متن کاملExtended double pedicle free tensor fascia latae myocutaneous flap for abdominal wall reconstruction.
Extensive full thickness anterior abdominal wall defects pose a difficult challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The objectives of reconstruction are the support of the intra-abdominal structures in order to preserve the functional integrity and achieve an aesthetically-acceptable appearance. Autologous tissues are versatile and provide the best reconstructive option in this type of defects. ...
