Versatility of the free jejunum flap in vaginal reconstruction
Vaginal reconstruction represents a very difficult challenge. Free jejunal flaps can be easily molded and adapted to solve complex cases restoring the width, length, and consistency of the "new" vagina without compromising the external genitalia and improving the lubrication while preserving sensation to clitoris.
متن کاملFlap reconstruction of the hypopharynx: a defect orientated approach
The present retrospective analysis evaluated the outcomes of different flap reconstructions for several hypopharyngeal defects in 136 patients who underwent hypopharyngeal reconstruction with a free or pedicled flap after excision of pharyngeal or laryngeal carcinoma.Functional and oncological outcome were the main measures. Nine patients had a type I-a hypopharyngeal defect (partial with laryn...
متن کاملFunctional effects of a free jejunum flap used for reconstruction in the oropharyngeal region.
Postoperative articulatory function was assessed in 5 patients who had had radical operations for cancers of the oropharyngeal region with surgical reconstruction using free jejunum flaps. A patient with total resection of the soft palate had the lowest scores of 39.9%. 4 patients with less resection than total removal of the soft palate had good scores (86.0%), and the articulatory dysfunction...
متن کاملArticulatory function in glossectomized patients with immediate reconstruction using a free jejunum flap.
Postoperative articulation in 18 glossectomized patients was investigated. The subjects were: 5 cases of tongue tumour, 7 cases of tumour of the anterior part of the floor of the mouth and 6 cases of tumour of the lateral part. A new modification of the Freiburger test for speech audiometry was used as test material. Then the articulatory function was assessed according to an overall score base...
متن کاملFree Flap Donor Site Reconstruction: A Prospective Case Series Using an Optimized Polyurethane Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix
INTRODUCTION We recently published a 10-patient case series where free flap donor site reconstruction was performed as a 2-stage procedure using an integrating biodegradable polyurethane matrix (to form a neodermis), followed by definitive closure with an autologous split-skin graft. Two issues were revealed by this pilot study that led to further modification of the biodegradable temporizing m...
