Simultaneous left maxillary and right mandibular reconstructions with a split osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery-based combined flap.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Traditionally, reconstruction of concurrent maxillary and mandibular defects on opposite sides of the facial skeleton often requires use of 2 free osseocutaneous flaps. A new technique of using a differentially split osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery-based combined (OPAC) flap for 1-stage reconstruction of left maxillary and right mandibular defects is presented. METHODS An OPAC flap with 1 skin paddle and a cuff of soleus muscle was harvested. The fibula was split; the distal osseous flap was used for right mandibular reconstruction, and the proximal OPAC flap composing of proximal fibula, skin paddle, and soleus muscle was used for the maxillary reconstruction. Bilateral facial vessels were used as recipient vessels. RESULTS No complications were encountered. The patient showed good functional and cosmetic outcomes at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION The split OPAC flap allows for simultaneous reconstruction of bony defects that are spatially far apart without the need for a second free flap.

Osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery-based combined flap for reconstruction of composite and en bloc mandibular defects.
BACKGROUND The osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery-based combined (OPAC) flap is a refinement of fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap, with the inclusion of partial soleus muscle based on an independent myocutaneous perforator. METHODS Seventeen men underwent composite oromandibular reconstruction using an OPAC flap. Flaps were raised with 1 or 2 skin paddles and 2 to 3 bone segments. In 8 cases, a ...

BACKGROUND Through-and-through oromandibular defects originate from surgical intervention of tumors of the oral cavity involving external skin, soft tissue, bone, and oral lining. Reconstruction of such composite defects is primarily achieved by 4 methods using distinct flaps in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, including a single anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap, a single fibula flap, an osteomyocut...

We present a case of a 57-year-old male patient who presented with squamous cell carcinoma on his mouth floor with cervical and mandibular metastases. Wide glossectomy with intergonial mandibular ostectomy, and sequential reconstruction using fibular osteomyocutaneous free flap were planned. When the anastomosis between the peroneal artery of the fibular free flap and the right lingual artery w...

BACKGROUND Large soft tissue defects of ankle and foot always have been challenging to reconstruct. Reverse sural flaps, free flaps have been used for this problem with variable success. Reverse peroneal artery flap is an option to use with reliability without microvascular repair. Connections of peroneal artery around talus and ankle joint are deep and reliable with anterior tibial and post...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the potential feasibility of reconstructing composite defects of the mandible with a local pedicled osteomyocutaneous mandibular flap. MATERIALS AND METHODS The flap design was established based on anatomic principles. A prospective evaluation of the flap was then performed in a fresh cadaver model, and, subsequently, its vascular in...
