Complications in head and neck microsurgery

Abstract: Microvascular surgery plays a vital role in head and neck reconstruction. This paper deals with the complications arising from this form of surgery. They can be classified as general complications, anastomotic problems, and specific problems related to particular donor and recipient sites.

“…Several studies have suggested that the vascular impact of radiation increases with time 18. The study by al Qattan and Boyd25 noted that increased time between irradiation and surgery was a significant factor in the flap failure rates at their institution. In their recent report, Schultze‐Mosgau et al19 showed that vascularization of the recipient bed diminishes continuously as a function of time after radiation treatment.…”

“…Na presente casuística, o emprego do RMA ocorreu no mesmo tempo cirúrgico da ressecção do câncer em dez dos 11 casos. Tal conduta é recomendada na literatura, pois reconstruções secundárias representam uma grande dificuldade técnica em função da fibrose perivascular que pode ser encontrada 10 . O longo e constante pedículo do RMA permite que as anastomoses sejam feitas nos vasos do pescoço, desde que estes estejam localizados até 25 cm de distância do defeito a ser reconstruído 3,7,8 .…”

“…Nestes pacientes, pode ocorrer fratura do hemirádio remanescente. Desta forma, recomenda-se que não mais que um terço do diâmetro do rádio seja removido na confecção do retalho, e que o paciente permaneça com o antebraço imobilizado por uma tala acima do cotovelo por 8 a 12 semanas 10 . A perda do enxerto de pele é outra complicação que pode ocorrer, principalmente quando o retalho é elevado na porção mais distal do antebraço, onde a grande quantidade de tendões desfavorece a integração do enxerto 11 .…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Reconstruction with microvascular free tissue transfer is considered as the primary method in large or complex defects. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Secondary options may be needed in cases of cancer recurrence, following complications of the primary microvascular reconstruction 12,13 or oncological treatment, such as osteoradionecrosis and in patients lacking usable vessels. [14][15][16] In addition, patients with poor general health should be assessed for minimally invasive reconstructive procedures.…”
