Submental flap as an alternative to microsurgical flap in intraoral post-oncological reconstruction in the elderly

Abstract: Oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (Scc) occur most commonly in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Free flaps are commonly used for reconstruction of extensive tumor resection defects in the oral cavity. Age alone is not an independent variable for increased risk in microvascular reconstruction; however operative time and ASA risk score correlated with medical complications but not with surgical complications. The submental island flap has proven to be a reliable alternative in reconstruction of … Show more

“…Its use has also proven to decrease operative times, hospital stay, and ultimately morbidity and cost. 3,[5][6][7] However, its oncological safety remains controversial, with regards to the nodal basins in the vicinity of the pedicle, namely levels IA and IB, and despite meticulous dissection, the possibility of transferring occult lymph node metastases to the recipient site is still a concern. 8,9 In an attempt to overcome these concerns in our earlier series, we modified our harvest technique by first completing an oncologically sound neck dissection and limited the use of the flap to node negative patients and excluded patients that were previously irradiated.…”

“…Head and neck literature has shown renewed interest in the use of regional flaps as primary reconstructive methods given the decreased cost, operative time, and length of hospital stay. [1][2][3][4][5] The submental island flap, first described in 1993 by Martin et al 6 as an axial flap based on the submental artery, has been most frequently used to reconstruct the oral cavity and less frequently documented for maxillary reconstruction. Furthermore, several modifications of this procedure have been developed, although none have included a vertical island flap.…”

“…В последние годы особое внимание уделяется использованию лучевого и подподбородочного лоскутов, проводятся исследования, которые сравнивают их по различным параметрам [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Вышеупомянутые лоскуты снискали популярность среди хирургов по всему миру благодаря простому процессу выкраивания, хорошему кровоснабжению и относительно низкому количеству осложнений со стороны донорского ложа [9,16].…”

“…Вышеупомянутые лоскуты снискали популярность среди хирургов по всему миру благодаря простому процессу выкраивания, хорошему кровоснабжению и относительно низкому количеству осложнений со стороны донорского ложа [9,16]. В то же время Ф. Шонауэр (F. Schonauer) с соавторами считают, что решающим в выборе метода реконструкции является локализация и размер дефекта, а не тип перемещаемых тканей [10]. Эти же факторы влияют на частоту и характер осложнений, т.е., по сути, неправильный выбор пластического материала для замещения определенного дефекта приводит к реализации осложнений [17,18].…”
