Lateral Skull Base Reconstruction: A Comparison of the Submental Flap to Free and Regional Flaps

Abstract: Oral PresentationsP33 in addition to permanent sutures. We believe that the good aesthetic results and acceptable number of complications make this technique an appropriate treatment option for patients with prominent ears. Grafts Are Superior to Sutures for Nasal Tip Projection: A Meta-analysis of Goodes RatioEric Cole, MD (presenter); Angelia S. Natili, MD Objectives: (1) Discuss relevant tip projection ratios involved in surgical planning of rhinoplasty. (2) Implement findings of meta-analysis in cosmetic s… Show more

“…20 A case series from the Mayo Clinic involved 31 patients with lateral temporal bone defects, of which 16 were reconstructed using the submental flap. 21 Compared with free flaps, submental flap reconstruction was associated with significantly reduced total operative time and duration of hospitalization. Submental flaps were significantly less likely to require revision debulking procedures compared with latissimus dorsi flaps and free flaps.…”

“…The use of free tissue transfer such as a radial forearm, lateral arm, and anterolateral thigh flap necessitate a separate surgical site and the associated risks with the respective donor harvest. These techniques also require a longer total operative time …”

“…Following subtotal temporal bone resection, the treatment goals of the reconstructive procedure are the epithelial reconstruction of skin defects, augmentation of soft tissue and bony defects, coverage of reconstructed facial nerves, and sealing of the intracranial cavity from outside air. The predominant reconstructive options following oncologic temporal bone resection are local skin flaps, pedicled myocutaneous flaps, and free tissue transfers . Although well‐designed local flaps or pedicled myocutaneous flaps may cover large areas, the surrounding tissues are often poorly vascularized due to previous surgery or radiation.…”
