To review complications and outcomes associated with latissimus-serratus-rib free flap oromandibular and midface reconstruction.Design: Retrospective medical record review.Setting: Two academic tertiary care medical centers.Patients: Twenty-eight patients with segmental resection of the mandible and 1 patient with combined resection of the mandible and maxilla after excision of neoplasms of the oralcavity,whowerebelievedtobepoorcandidatesforfibula free flap reconstruction, were identified.Interventions: Twenty-seven latissimus-serratus-rib osteomusculocutaneous free flap reconstructions and 2 serratus-rib osteomuscular free flap reconstructions were performed. Main Outcome Measures:The outcome of micro-vascular free tissue transfer as well as short-and longterm complications were recorded.Results: There were no perioperative free flap failures. Delayed partial rib graft resorption occurred in 1 patient 33 months after free flap transfer for maxillary reconstruction. Among 28 cases of mandibular reconstruction, 1 case of bone graft nonunion was noted after a postoperative period of 57 months. All other cases achieved successful restoration of mandibular continuity. Donor site morbidity was well-tolerated in all patients. Conclusion:Latissimus-serratus-rib osteomusculocutaneous free flaps are effective for reconstruction of composite defects of the mandible in patients who are not candidates for more commonly used vascularized bonecontaining free flaps.

“…Navigation-supported zygoma implant positioning across the temporal fossa could (Jensen et al 1992) include two more cortical fractions from the zygomatic arch. To the DCIA flap (Brown 1996) came the rectus abdominis and radial flap (Cordeiro & Santamaria 2000), fibula (Futran & Haller 1999) and subscapular artery flaps (Uglesic et al 2000). All zygoma implants were stable even when inserted in only two zygomatic cortical portions.…”

“…Subscapular arterial system is widely used for creation of a large variety of flaps including the subscapular flap (vascularised from CSA), the serratus anterior flap (vascularised from TDA) and latissimus dorsi flap (vascularised from TDA). These flaps are used for coverage of medium and large size defects and combine cutaneous, subcutaneous, muscular and even bony elements [9,18]. Their bulkiness and wide angle of rotation make them suitable for coverage of lateral thoracic wall defects, mastectomy restoration and oromandibular defects [7,15,17].…”
