A combined anterolateral thigh flap and vascularized iliac crest flap in the reconstruction of extended composite defects of the anterior mandible

A combined superficial inferior epigastric artery flap and vascularized iliac crest flap in the reconstruction of extended composite defects of the posterior mandible and adjacent soft tissue: first clinical results

“…Both flaps can be used for soft tissue reconstruction in combination with the DCIA flap 6 . The anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) flap is preferred, because it has low donor site morbidity and can be harvested in an individual design and thickness with different soft tissue components 6 .…”

Mandibular reconstruction with vascularised bone flaps: a systematic review over 25 years

“…There were 81 papers (16, 24, 29, 30, 31, 33, 38, 47, 49, 53, 55, 57, 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 73, 75, 76, 81, 84, 89, 91, 95, 97, 99, 100, 103, 104, 107-109, 111-116, 120, 121, 124, 125, 130, 132-134, 137, 140 145-150, 154, 158, 163, 165, 166, 168, 170-173, 180, 184, 185, 188, 194-197, 202, 203, 205, 210, 212, 221, 222, 229) 98, 101, 106, 110, 110, 117-119, 122, 123, 126-129, 131, 135, 138, 139, 141, 143, 151, 153, 156, 159-161, 164, 167, 169, 179, 182, 183, 187, 190, 192, 193, 199, 200, 204, 206, 207, 209, 212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 223, 225, 227, 228) also reconstructed the condyle, compared with 1.6% (6/373) for the iliac crest (13,15,19,60,77,79,86,87,98,105,155,157,161,177,178,183,201,211,212,227 …”

Hemimandibulectomy and therapeutic neck dissection with radiotherapy in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma involving mandible: a critical review of treatment protocol in the years 1994–2004

“…High early mortality was not seen in the other groups. The only possibility for reversing the postoperative complications resulting from increased radicality of primary tumour resection is the following reconstruction by vascularized bone containing free-flaps with microsurgical transfer of blood vessel supply, both performed in one operation 9,10,18,27 . The authors speculate, in accordance with SCHLIEPHAKE & JAMIL 27 , that the high mortality could be prevented using such a reconstruction.…”
